VIRTUS:

If you have already completed a VIRTUS training, please log into your account and email a copy of your certificate to Annette Hovie.

If you have not already completed the training, do so by following the directions HERE.

Contact Annette with any questions.

Save the certificate issued at the end and email it to Jenn Wood as proof of your attendance.

 NOTE - you cannot save your place in this training.  You need to do it all in one sitting and email the certificate immediately or you will have to retake it.

Getting on Payroll:

Please complete the following payroll forms:

Direct Deposit

I-9 Form

W-4 Form

WT-4

​​

  1. To not have taxes withheld from your checks, you may write EXEMPT on Line 3 of your WT-4 if earning less than $12,000 total this year in Wisconsin. You may write EXEMPT in the space below line 4(c) of the W-4 if you will earn less than $15,750 in the U.S. this year.

  2. Send completed forms to Jackie Weninger via email, Google Drive or by mail: Mount Tabor Center, 522 2nd Street, Menasha, WI 54952

  3. Bring valid US Passport OR current Driver’s License AND Social Security card for verification when you arrive.

​

Health Coverage:

SPIRITUS is primarily funded by donors. To keep expenses low, missionaries are requested to remain on their own or parent's health insurance policy if/when able. If that is not an option, SPIRITUS will cover a missionary’s insurance plan premium for a plan set up with Midwest Insurance Brokers.

 

SPIRITUS does not cover dental insurance or vision insurance.

 

If you need health insurance, please send an email ASAP to Jackie at bookkeeper@spiritusministries.org confirming your phone number and email address so Midwest Insurance Brokers (MIB) can get in touch with you right away. This way insurance can begin before you arrive.

 

If you do not need health insurance, please (1) fill out the short waiver link, (2) email photos of both the front and back of your insurance card to Jackie, and bring your insurance card for your mission year.

 

Contact Jackie with any questions. â€‹â€‹
