• 1. NOTICE #1 - UNEMPLOYMENT WAIVER/DISCLAIMER

  I understand that my position with PCMI is of a voluntary and seasonal nature.  I further understand available jobs as a substitute employee will no longer be available to me after the school season ends each year and I also understand that there is reasonable assurance that I will be called back to work during the next season/school year.
  
  This notice serves as the required written notice to employees, as each employee is required to view the website in order to be employed through the substitute program. 

• 2. NOTICE #2 - 2005 PA#13 ON SELF-REPORTING OF CRIMINAL ACTS

  This legislation went into effect January 1, 2006, which requires any employee, new applicant or other individuals under regular contract shall report if s/he has been charged with a crime within 3 days after being arraigned for that crime.

• 4. CHANGES IN PAY METHODS

  PCMI will no longer be offering the option of paper payroll checks, and all employees must select either Direct Deposit or the Visa Pay Card.
  
  To update your Direct Deposit information please go to our website at www.pcmiservices.com, click on the Employment, Employee, Enrollment tab, then click on update form or click here.  You will find the Direct Deposit update form.  Upon completion click on the “send” button located at the bottom of the electronic form.  PCMI will receive your updated information.
  
  

  If you are already utilizing Direct Deposit or the Pay Card or have recently completed an enrollment form for one of these two options with us, you do not need to re-apply unless you have changes that need to be updated.
  
  The pay card, which has the Visa logo displayed on the front of the card, is in every way the same as a paper check but has the added benefits of a debit card.  Therefore, in addition to being able to “cash” the Pay Card at any bank or credit union, you can also elect to use the card as a Visa debit card for “point of sale” transactions, like purchasing groceries, or dining at a restaurant.  Since the Pay Card is re-loadable, your pay will automatically be loaded to the card each pay period.

  Should you have any questions regarding this change or the payment options available to you, please do not hesitate to contact the PCMI Customer Service Department at 517-647-7533.

• 5. NEW SUBSTITUTE TEACHING PERMIT REQUIREMENTS

  SUBSTITUTE PERMITS MUST BE APPLIED FOR AND PAID PRIOR TO WORKING.
  
  Substitutes with criminal history information on their fingerprint results will be required to submit additional documentation to PCMI regarding the outcome of their cases. PCMI is requiring the submission of this information due to changes to the substitute permit application process implemented by the State of Michigan.

  
  If you are a substitute with a criminal history, you will need to contact the Court Clerk in the Court in which you were prosecuted to obtain one of the following documents regarding your case:
  •   Judgment of Sentence
  •   Register of Actions
  •   Certificate of Conviction
  •   Copy of the Court Docket showing  the offense, the date of the offense, the date of the conviction and date of sentencing
  

  If the Clerk does not have any of the above documents regarding your case, the court may provide a letter stating such on their letterhead.
  
  This information may be emailed, faxed, or mailed to PCMI using the address information below. Please be sure to include the names of the district(s) in which you work with your submission.
