Minnesota Department of Human Rights (MDHR) respectfully requests all SWIFT related requests for certificates of compliance to be sent in a timely manner to avoid the end of June rush. MDHR needs 15 days to review workforce and equal pay applications prior to approval. The sooner that SWIFT requests are identified in early June, the more time the contractor and state agency will have to process its payment requests and avoid backlog. Please view the reference guide if you have questions about handling a human rights certification error in SWIFT.
