Effective Friday, March 20, 2020, all MidwestHR offices will be initiating the second level of our Emergency Preparedness Plan.
To protect and support our team members during this pandemic emergency, all members will be working remotely starting on March 20th. We will be following the recommendations of the Centers of Disease Control (CDC), the World Heath Organization (WHO), the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) along with the orders of our local and federal authorities. We anticipate returning to our offices as of Monday, March 30th, if no further developments warrant otherwise.
All team members have been provided hardware, systems and supplies to fully manage their duties remotely during this event, there will be no interruption of service to you or your employees. Our team members will be available via email and their direct lines during their normal working hours. Your dedicated service team is listed on your dashboard of the Manager Portal or on your personal Employee Portal. Below is a link to a directory of our team members and department emails:
