If the Non-Empoyee PI is being reimbursed under the same rules as employees
(eg. actual plane fare with receipts, per diem meals at same rate as employee,
etc.) then a 1099 is not required. If you are paying the PI's a set amount for
travel that is not supported in the same manner as employees, then a 1099 is
required. I have recently researched this matter and if you would like to
discuus, call me at (518) 431-1223.
