Vendor
Fiscal/Employer Agent
Summit
Fiscal Agency offers Vendor Fiscal/Employer Agent or Payroll
Agent services to consumers who receive funding under the Mental
Retardation and Related Conditions (MR/RC) waiver; the Elderly
(EW) Waiver; Community Alternative Care (CAC); the Community
Alternatives for Disabled Individuals (CADI) waiver; and the
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) waiver. We are also offering these
services to consumers who receive funding under the Minnesota
Disabilities Health Options (MnDHO) and the Minnesota Senior
Health Options (MnSHO) programs.
In the Vendor Fiscal/Employer Agent model, the consumer or the
Consumer’s representative is the Common Law Employer.
This means that the consumer obtains an Employer Identification
Number (EIN) and is the lawful employer of those who provide
direct supports. This model allows you more autonomy and self-direction
in managing your supports. You will hire your own employees,
train, supervise, evaluate and discharge them at your own discretion.
You also take on the responsibility for following all applicable
federal and state employment laws. Summit Fiscal Agency will
assist you in completing all employer paperwork and obtaining
proper insurance and workers compensation.
As the Vendor Fiscal/Employer Agent, Summit Fiscal Agency is
not the employer. We are your agent and provide administrative
support such as wages payment to your employees, payment of
payroll taxes, processing of employment related information
and record keeping.
We also provide you with all of the forms and information you
need to become an employer and to manage your employees.
Summit Fiscal Agency complies with all applicable federal and
state rules and regulations. Our professional staff have experience
researching and implementing new rules and regulations as they
change and evolve. We have consulting relationships with and
tax and auditing accountants and a business and employment specialist
attorney.
All of the services rendered by Summit Fiscal Agency are subject
to periodic review by Counties and the Department of Human Services.
We will provide the Minnesota Department of Human Services with
summary information from surveys, quality indicator activity
and any other information requested. |
