Minnesota Paid Leave Updates

Minnesota employers have already taken steps to comply with the state’s new Paid Leave law. The Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) regularly publishes additional guidance and resources. Some of their recent reminders include:

• Log in to your employer account to ensure you have designated a Paid Leave Administrator. This person will be your organization’s main contact with the Paid Leave division. You can designate one person or several people, depending on what works for your business. You can find a step-by-step guide at uimn.org/employers/paid-leave
   
• Your designated Paid Leave Administrator(s) must go to paidleave.mn.gov to create their Paid Leave Administrator account. This account is used to review leave applications, view Paid Leave determinations, and more.
   
• By December 1, 2025, notify your employees about Paid Leave:
  • A workplace poster (found here) displayed in English and any other language spoken by five or more employees or independent contractors.
  • An individual notice (found here) in the employee’s primary language. 
    
    Employees must acknowledge that they received the notice, or you must be able to demonstrate how they were notified.
