Minnesota recently updated the procedure for state contractors to use in submitting their Annual Compliance Report.
Covered Minnesota state contractors must obtain a Workforce Certificate every four years from the Minnesota Department of Human Rights. To maintain the Workforce Certificate, they must submit an Annual Compliance Report to MDHR. Contractors used to submit the report via email or postal mail, but effective immediately they must use the state’s new web form to submit their annual compliance reports online. A complete report contains both Part 1 “Year in Review Narrative” and Part 2 “Data Analysis” Excel workbook with workforce data from the past year.
For now, state contractors must still submit their applications for Workforce Certificates and Equal Pay Certificates via email, but Minnesota is developing a new portal called “MyCert” that will allow contractors to submit these applications electronically. When MyCert becomes available, the portal will replace the web form for the Annual Compliance Report.
