MC Employment Verification Letters Provided Upon Request for Phase 1C COVID-19 Vaccinations
Some vaccination providers, including the “mass vaccination” sites operated by the state, will vaccinate Montgomery College employees on the basis that the state has moved to Phase 1C. This includes employees in the higher education sector, such as faculty, staff, and administrators. Providers offering the vaccine on this basis may require a verification of your employment.
Current MC employees can request an employment verification letter by sending an email from their College-issued email address to the HRSTM Virtual Help Desk. HRSTM will provide the employment verification letter in PDF format so that it can either be printed or downloaded to a mobile device.
