UND recommends departments use the following standard agreement forms when hiring a consultant, guest speaker, or personal service. These agreements have been pre-approved by UND General Counsel ensuring timely processing of payments.
Consultant Agreement - Microsoft Word | 04.17.09
Description: This contract needs to be completed any time a consultant is employed.
Guest Speaker Contract - Microsoft Word | 04.17.09
Description: This contract needs to be completed any time a guest speaker is employed.
Personal Service Contract - Microsoft Word | 04.17.09
Description: This contract needs to be completed any time a service is performed and the vendor cannot supply a contract.
If one of the above agreements is not used and an agreement from a consultant/guest speaker/vendor (third party) is used, it must be reviewed by UND’s General Counsel Office. Using a third party agreement over one of UND’s recommended agreements above may delay the payment process because UND’s General Counsel approval is required.
UND departments can choose not to use the recommended agreements above or a third party agreement and use an invoice from the vendor. When doing so, the same information must be stated on the invoice (services performed, fees, other expenses, dates, etc.) that is required on the agreements and the invoice must be signed by the individual performing the service.
The agreements are recommended because many individuals being paid for services do not have prepared invoices with the individual signature and using the pre-approved forms above will expedite the payment process.
