Minnesota's Earned Sick and Safe Time Law

MMUA invites all members to participate in a free webinar on Thursday, September 26 from 10:00–11:00 am. The webinar will discuss Minnesota's Earned Sick and Safe Time (ESST) law, including the latest updates which went into effect at the end of the legislative session in May. MMUA's Organizational Development and Human Resources Manager Shelly Dau will be presenting. 

The ESST law was effective January 1, 2024, and it requires Minnesota employers to provide paid leave to employees who work in the state. This leave can be used for reasons including an employee's illness, to care for a sick family member, or to seek assistance if an employee or their family member has experienced domestic abuse, sexual assault, or stalking. 

The ESST law was updated in May 2024 to clarify who qualifies for ESST, the rate at which ESST must be paid, ESST application to other paid time off, and more. We will cover it all, and we will address frequently asked questions. Please plan to join us!

Registration is required for this meeting.
