In Imperial College Information Systems (ICIS), long-term visitors and contractors are referred to as contingent workers and are not paid via the College payroll system.

Only full-time members of staff are given access to ICIS automatically. Long-term visitors and contractors (contingent workers) must be set up in the system by the local Departmental Administrator as a Contingent worker. Anybody who has a contractual arrangement with Imperial and is paid through the payroll system should not be set up as a Contingent worker in ICIS. Contact the Departmental Administrator if this is the case. To set up and maintain Contingent workers in ICIS, you must have the correct responsibility in the system. Alternatively, contact your local Departmental Administrator who is usually responsible for this.
