"Full-time," as defined by the Internal Revenue Service, means persons employed for 20 or more hours per week, and excludes temporary employees whose term of employment will be less than one (1) month. This certification satisfies the Internal Revenue Service criteria for treatment of the above-named Contractor/Consultant as an independent contractor, not an employee for tax withholding purposes."

    • Contractor Certification of Compliance, part 1 (required)

      NOTE: Failure to comply with state and federal reporting requirements regarding a Contractor/Consultant's employees or failure to implement lawfully served wage and earnings assignment orders or notices of assignment constitues a default under the contract; and failure to cure the default within 90 days fo notice by the County shall be grounds for termination of the contract. Principal Owners can contact the Sacramento Department of Child Support Services at 1-866-901-3212, by writing to PO Box 269112, Sacramento, CA 95826-9112, or via the Customer Connect website at www.childsup.ca.gov.
