The Payment to Individual Report (PIR) is used to request all payments to individuals except salaries, employee reimbursements, and payment to subcontractors and architects. An individual is defined as "a person who is not a company, partnership, corporation, association, organization, trust or estate, and for whom an employer-employee relationship does not exist." See FPPP #31 for more details. Examples of valid payments processed with a PIR are direct payments to individuals for services, prizes and awards, scholarships, rents, royalties, human subjects, and participant support. You may use the PIR to pay a non-UW employee. You may use the PIR to pay a fee that is less than or equal to $100 to a registered UW student. Fees for services greater than $100 that are paid to students must be paid through payroll.
