[SchoolFinance] Stipend vs. Hourly Pay

[Andrea Disch]

Jenn,
In response to your question, if the former retiree is not a consultant,
providing the same service to other districts, the retiree would be
classified as an employee.
That said, the Department of Labor has guidelines regarding the
classification of independent contract status.  I would suggest
reviewing their revised independent contractor rule.
(see attached)

Please reach out if you have additional questions.
