Completing this course allows you to become EMP-certified under the law so you can perform this work. It will also allow you to file yearly EMP statements on any work performed, also required by law. This is a 4-hour course, including the exam. The EMP certificate will be mailed to those who pass the exam and pay the $10 training fee. Register here: https://stj_emp_class.eventbrite.com.
