What: May apply for temporary replacement staff for up to 14 days
When: Now thru (December 2020)
Providers of residential services can now request short-term emergency temporary staffing if they’re experiencing a staffing shortage due to an outbreak of COVID-19 at their facility. If deemed eligible, your organization will receive temporary replacement staff for up to 14 days from a third-party staffing agency selected by the State of Minnesota at no cost to the provider. While the State of Minnesota will try to meet providers’ appropriate requests for temporary replacement staffing, the provider retains responsibility for all requirements of their license and continuity of services for their residents.
