Compensation Policy
Note: The interpreter should keep this policy for his or her records.
ACT uses our Supplier Registration and Payment System (SRPS) to pay all test center staff.
A supplier is any individual, organization, or business that provides services for ACT. The test
coordinator, room supervisors, proctors, sign language interpreters, and facility staff (e.g., security
and custodial) are classied as “suppliers.”
All suppliers must create an account in SRPS (https://srps.act.org) and agree to the terms and
conditions in order to work for ACT. ACT reserves the right to update its payment processes and
procedures, including the terms and conditions, at any time. Check the Supplier Registration
and Payment System for any updates or modications.
In the United States, US territories, and Puerto Rico, payments are issued in the form of direct
deposit or pay card. Outside those locations, payment is issued by wire or by check.
Consistent with applicable federal law, ACT characterizes suppliers as independent contractors
for tax purposes. Accordingly, ACT does not withhold income tax, FICA, or other amounts from
payments made to suppliers. 
All payment information is reported by ACT to the IRS and/or other applicable government
agencies as required by law based on the supplier’s country of citizenship and/or residence. As
required by IRS guidelines, ACT issues 1099-MISC forms to all suppliers who are or have ever
been considered United States persons and that receive cumulative payments of at least $600
in a calendar year regardless if the work was performed in the United States or abroad. Suppliers
receiving less than $600 in a calendar year do not receive 1099-MISC forms.
Requesting Payment
When payment is remitted directly to you:
Submit a completed Sign Language Interpreter Request for Payment (page 2) to the test coor-
dinator on test day after testing. Allow several weeks for processing.
Note: You must have a Supplier Registration and Payment System (SRPS) account to receive
payment.
When payment is remitted to the interpreting services company:
1. The interpreter submits a completed Sign Language Interpreter Request for Payment
(page 2) to the test coordinator on test day after testing.
2. The test coordinator submits the form to ACT.
3. The company submits an invoice and a completed W-9 form to ACT.
Note: The company must have a Supplier Registration and Payment System (SRPS) account
to receive payment.
