Should we put this contractor on our payroll?

The charity I am working with have some European funding and some issues have been raised. The charity is 'contracted' by a university in Malta as one of a number of partners. The charity made the bid identifying that the work would be done by a consultant. The consultant, when they submitted their report to the commissioning partner, has been told that consultant's fees are not eligible but it would be alright if he was on payroll. Clearly we cannot back date payroll payments in lieu of consultants fees. If we put the consultant on the payroll what are the forward implications (or indeed retrospective). This individual is also contracted for other work by the charity as well.
