Overview:
The Sponsors are assigned to help ensure contingent workers (CWs) are following Intel
policies. Intel engages with third party companies, called Suppliers that employ individuals
who are assigned to Intel as CWs to perform specialized services, temporarily augment Intel’s
workforce or assist Intel with maintaining a flexible workforce where resource requirements
fluctuate with demand. Typically there is a contract between Intel and the Supplier that
describes the scope of work and services to be performed by the CWs. As the employer, the
Supplier is responsible for paying the CWs their compensation, providing benefits, and
withholding and paying taxes. The Supplier is also responsible for hiring, firing and managing
CW performance and disciplinary issues, including those arising from Intel assignments. Intel
may require the Supplier to remove a CW from an Intel assignment as long as this is specified
in the contract between Intel and the Supplier.

and level of control over the CW. When a company is found as the legal employer under these
circumstances this is sometimes referred to as “co-employment” or “de facto” employment.
The law imposes many obligations on companies found to be an employer of a CW. It is they
obligation of all Intel employees to
