Effective Jan. 1, 2024, nearly all Minnesota employers are required to provide their workers with paid earned sick and safe time (ESST).
Highlights of the law include the following:
Employees are eligible if they work at least 80 hours in a year in Minnesota;
Leave accrues at a rate of one hour of ESST for every 30 hours worked, up to a maximum of 48 hours per year;
Employers that front-load ESST can avoid carryover requirements;
ESST may be used for reasons related to sexual assault, stalking, public emergencies and public health, in addition to health reasons;
“Family member” is defined broadly and includes those with the equivalent of a family relationship;
Employers must comply with notice and recordkeeping requirements; and
Nonretaliation provisions apply.
