Minnesota Earned Sick and Safe Time Law (1/1/24)

​Effective Jan. 1, Minnesota's earned sick and safe time law requires employers to provide paid leave to employees who work in the state. Earned sick and safe time local ordinances already exist. When Minnesota's statewide earned sick and safe time law goes into effect, employers must meet the most generous leave provisions and protections of the applicable laws.
