What if I need a contractor?
Our process in a nutshell
• Resource Manager requests contractor form (sample incl) from Project Manager during staffing process
• Form is reviewed by RM, schedule added and passed to Recruiting– Time to fill expectations set
• Candidates are screened and interviewed– new candidates logged into icims
• Onboarding for contractor begins
• Legal Portal approval process– Serves as OPS notification for bldg registration, equipment, space,
email/phone, etc– Request routed by margin info to approver(s) – Contracts are generated
• RMs monitor performance during staffing process– Applicable feedback shared with recruiting/logged in icims
• Contractor Admin checks in with RM a week before contract term expires for renewal

How will the contractor be paid?
Time entry and Invoicing
In addition to completing a weekly timesheet using Oracle Time and Labor (OTL) timesheet entry system, you as a contractor must also submit an invoice in order to receive payment for your services.
The following are Accounts Payable invoicing requirements:
• All invoices must be submitted electronically via e-mail to [email protected]
• You must include your name and invoice number in the subject line of the e-mail.
• Invoices must include the following in order to be paid properly and in a timely way. – Your name as it appears on your
timesheet in OTL– Your remit to name if different than your
name in OTL
– Remit to address– Invoice date (must be on or after the last
date of service per invoice)– Invoice number (this must be unique for
every invoice)– Project Manager’s name– Project and Client name– Time period for services being invoiced– Hourly rate– Hours per day as well as Total hours (this
must be totaled and must agree to your time submission in OTL)
– Total dollar amount due
Please detail your time by project, just as you do within OTL. Please make sure any font you use is clearly readable to avoid delay in payment.

Welcome emailHi Alex: Thank you for your support!
This agreement, exhibit, equipment agreement (if you are borrowing equipment) and W-9 (keep in mind that the name on your contracts must match the name you enter on your W-9, and the address on your W-9 is where your checks will be sent) need to be signed and faxed to our Legal Department as soon as possible. Please fax back all pages, not just the signature pages.
You should have already received an email from your Project Manager with your network id and password. Feel free to contact me if this is not the case, and you have not received this information. You will need to check your Razorfish email for all correspondence from your project team, not just your personal email.
Attached you will also find time/expense, invoicing instructions and a sample invoice. Please read through these instructions now so you fully understand the process and to ensure your payment will not be delayed.
I’ve also attached some information on how to request a VPN token. If you are not working in a Razorfish office you will need to request a token in order to access our Oracle Time Entry and Expense management system (instructions attached). Time entry is required to process your invoice. You should be receiving your Welcome to Oracle email 2-3 days from receipt of your signed contracts. If you have any issues accessing or entering your time please contact me.
Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks! Linda
