How to Acquire Personal Services

Summary: Personal services are infrequent, technical, or unique functions performed by individuals. UCSD can control only the end result of these services, but not the way the individuals perform them.

Before you start the steps below, review Independent Contractor/ Consultant Overview and Independent Contractor/ Consultant Guidelines.

What to do		How to do it.
1	Complete the IRS-required form.	Download and complete the Independent Contractor Pre-hire Information Form (PDF).
2	Depending on the results of the form, take one of these steps:	If the form indicates a contractor relationship, go to Step 3. If the form indicates an employee relationship, see How to Hire Staff. If the form indicates an employee-vendor relationship, see Employee-Vendor Relationships.
3	Complete a High Value Purchase Requisition, regardless of the total cost of the service.	If you have a user ID and password, access FinancialLink to complete your High Value Purchase Requisition. See High Value Purchase Requisition for Personal Services for detailed information on completing your requisition. Note: If you need a user ID, see How to Get a User ID. If another person in your area is responsible for preparing your requisition, provide that individual with the necessary information.
4	Submit documentation to Purchasing.	Include the following forms: Independent Contractor Pre-hire Information Form (PDF) (required). Employee-Vendor Relationship Disclosure Form (PDF) (required only if your proposed vendor is an employee; see Employee-Vendor Relationships). Write the requisition number on all pages of documentation. Send documentation to Patrick Little, Mail Code 0914, or fax to (858) 534-5803.
