Payment Information
Standardized Patient work is paid per hour. In order to get paid from CWRU, Standardized Patients must become independent contractors for CWRU. The first step in this process is to fill out a Supplier Form, a W9 Form, and an ACH Form (if you want Direct Deposit). When we receive these forms, they are signed and sent over to Accounts Payable. Accounts Payable will send the Standardized Patient an email that they will need to open and sign electronically and then return. Once Accounts Payable receives the email, an individual PO for the Standardized Patient will be set up.
Each PO is up-funded with a dollar amount. That dollar amount does NOT mean the Standardized Patient will earn that amount or only work to the capacity of that amount. The up-funded amount will be increased as needed.
When a Standardized Patient works a program they will need to sign-in on the sign-in sheet which records and validates the hours worked. Once the program is completed, an invoice will be created and sent over to Accounts Payable for immediate pay. Accounts Payable will pay the Standardized Patient based on the amount of hours worked on the invoice times the hourly rate.
No taxes will be taken out of the dollar amount. A 1099 will be sent annually according to current IRS Guidelines.
