5.8.1 Foreign National Compliance

When the College identifies a foreign national or foreign vendor that will be compensated via payroll, accounts payable or student services, the appropriate department shall maintain a copy of evidentiary and supporting documentation such as I-9, W-8BEN, I-20, I-94, I-797, passport, and/or employment authorization card. The evidentiary and supporting documentation shall be provided to the Finance Division.

The Finance Division will submit the supporting documentation to the Systems Office before payment is made.

If the Systems Office determines that payments made by the College to a foreign national or foreign vendor are taxable, the College shall withhold federal and/or state taxes as instructed by the Systems Office.
