Professional Caregiver’s Guidebook

By registering and attending Orientation, you acknowledge that eligibility for a stipend payment is contingent on your having worked and been paid as a caregiver for a covered program, as defined in the collective bargaining agreement between the State of Minnesota and SEIU Healthcare Minnesota and Iowa, during the last six months, completion of the session, and completion of online stipend paperwork.

Orientation participants are expected to treat other caregivers and facilitators with respect. If you arrive more than 15 minutes late, or miss more than 15 minutes of the instruction, you will not be marked as completed and will need to reschedule.
