Happy Holidays!
Warmest thoughts and best wishes for a wonderful Holiday and a Happy New Year from all of us at MRCI-CDS!
Holiday Calendar - Important Dates to Remember
As the holidays approach, MRCI would like to remind you of several deadlines.

Monday, December 20th is the deadline for payroll instead of Tuesday, December 21st. ALL timesheets must be submitted by the end of the day on December 20th in order to be paid on December 30th. 

Accounts Payable and Invoices:

All claim reimbursement and vendor invoices must be submitted to MRCI by the end of the day on Monday, December 20th in order to be paid on the 23rd or by the end of Monday, December 27th to be paid on December 30th. 

Please contact your program specialist with any questions.

MRCI will be mailing the 2022 payroll calendar to our Clients/Client Representatives in late November. You can also download the digital version by clicking the button on the right.
Fingerprint Requirement for Background Studies Returns
DHS temporary provisional background checks have ceased and fingerprint background checks have returned.

At this time, DHS is requiring current employees with a cleared provisional background check to complete the fingerprinting and photo portion of their background check.

If you have a employee hired between April of 2020 and October of 2021 please have them watch their email for information from Human Resources on when they will need to get fingerprints taken.

The email will come from dhs.netstudy2@state.mn.us and will contain instructions on how to complete the fingerprinting process. Employees must get their fingerprints taken within 14 days of the date they receive the email to meet the requirement for continued employment.
Employee Exiting Form Reminder
Do you have any staff that no longer work for you? Client Representatives are encouraged to submit exit forms for any employees that no longer work for them to MRCI-CDS HR Department (CDSHR@mymrci.org). This will help us maintain up-to-date employment records and provide accurate information in situations such as employment/unemployment verification for all employees, as well as pay out any accrued paid time off (PTO) balances owed to former employees.
 
Please contact your program specialist with any questions. You can download copy of the Employee exit form using the button below.
