PURPOSE / SCOPE:
It is the intent of ICOM to clarify the definitions of employment classifications so that employees understand their employment status and benefits eligibility.
POLICY AND PROCEDURE:
Individuals working on behalf of ICOM are assigned an employment classification based upon their role and work schedule. Employees may not be classified as an Employee and an Independent Contractor at the same time.
Employees
- Regular Full-Time Employees are employees regularly scheduled for 20 hours or more each week and are eligible for ICOM’s benefits package, subject to the terms, conditions, and limitations of each program.
- Regular Part-Time Employees are employees who are regularly scheduled for less than 20 hours each week and may be eligible for some of ICOM’s benefits package, subject to the terms, conditions, and limitations of each program.
- Temporary Employees are hourly employees who work on a part- or full-time basis and whose employment with ICOM is of a temporary nature. Temporary employees include student employees, individuals hired for short-term projects, and individuals hired to supplement the workforce. Temporary employees are not eligible for ICOM’s health nor 401k plans.
Independent Contractors
Independent contractors are not employees and are not eligible for ICOM’s benefits, unless expressly stated in their contract.
