Ordering Books via Rittenhouse
- Amazon does not accept purchase orders, so orders for books need to be made through Rittenhouse: call +1 (800) 345-6425 and use acct # 012959 – we get a 17% discount with them. For questions contact Josephine Amico.
Independent Consultants and Contractors
Out-of-date
This is a way of paying for outside services that are not Partners entities, and we don’t want to set up as a Partners vender. Note that this process is a HUGE pain, and can take months to complete. Avoid it if at all possible.
- Joanne Miller is the contracts specialist for Partners, her email is JMILLER17@PARTNERS.ORG, and she can help guide you through the process.
- Info is on: http://pulse.partners.org/mm/indcontractor.htm
- Read over the 5 questions on the ‘Independent Contract Form’ found at common\Admin\Contracts
- If the answer to any of the questions is ‘yes’, there is a high likelihood that Partners will reject the independent contract request
