Performers
UH Hilo > Business Office > Easy Reference Guides
If the performer is a single individual, the requisition can be made out to that individual. Attach letter of invite, non-employee invoice, receipts, correspondence that apply to the performance, minutes, agenda, etc. You must use the individual’s legal name on all documents.
If the performer is a group, the requisition must be made out to the group's name. If they are not listed in FMIS with a vendor code, have them complete a W-9. If they do not have a Federal ID number, and payment is to be issued to a member in the group, an invoice should be made from the group name, with instructions that check is to be payable to the individual. The individual would then need to complete and sign a WH-1 with applicable attachments. A list of the members of the group should be included to verify that payment can be made to this individual. Attach letter of invite, receipts, correspondence that apply to the performance, minutes, agenda, etc.
If there is a contract with a talent agency for a performance by an individual or group, the requisition should be made to the agency for the whole amount. If the contract states that part of the payment should go to the performer, the agency must complete and sign an "Assignment of Money by Party to Whom the University is Directly Indebted" (OPRPM Form 90) and get it notarized prior to submitting it to the Business Office. Any alterations to contracts need to be approved by all parties involved.
OPRPM Form 90 can be found at:
