| Q. | How do I pay for an honorarium or for services which are performed by a non resident alien while in the US? | | | |
A.
| A vendor needs to be created by completing a Purchasing vendor maintenance request and by submitting an OSU
Accounts Payable Payment Compliance Form to AP. In the comments field please indicate that this is a payment for honoraria
or services. AP needs to receive a copy of their VISA and passport, in addition to the OSU Accounts Payable Payment
Compliance Form. AP must be provided the non resident's e-mail address to grant them access to the Glacier System. This
system will determine whether a non resident alien has tax treaty exemption status or is subject to US tax withholding.
