INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS
Purpose:
On occasion, the Archdiocese of Atlanta and its agencies, parishes and schools may engage in the
use of independent contractors to fulfill an immediate business need. An independent contractor
is a business owner or person retained to perform services under an agreement, either written or
verbal. These individuals are not subject to archdiocesan control/right to control the manner and
means of performing professional services. Generally, contractors provide his/her services to the
general public and is responsible for furnishing his/her own tools, equipment, supplies, etc.
The classification of an individual as an independent contractor or an employee is governed by the
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Independent Contractor or Employee? Proper classification of an
individual as an independent contractor must be determined by a thorough review of guidelines
established by the IRS.
Note: An individual already employed by an archdiocesan entity may not provide services as an
independent contractor for any archdiocesan location.
