EMERGENCY TEMPORARY STANDARD
Although currently in a holding pattern due to its "stay," the state of Minnesota has approval from OSHA to put into effect its Emergency Temporary Standard (originally set to go into effect Dec. 6th). This is the protocol employers who have 100 or more employees need to follow relating to COVID vaccine status / weekly testing procedures. For a more comprehensive look at the plan (if/when it goes into effect) please use the button below.
EPEA INTERNAL ANNUAL AUDIT
Each year a team of EPEA members must come together to audit the expenditures of the previous fiscal year for accountability and tax purposes. The audit team of Vic Penguilly (PV), Andy Malone (CMS), and Michelle Rada (EPHS) recently completed the audit of the time period of September 1, 2020 - August 31, 202. Their summary report and the expenditure activity reports can be viewed on the official documents page of the EPEA website using the button below.
Additional information, including past newsletters, can be located on the EPEA/EPPEA website epteachers.org.
