Paid Leave is coming to Minnesota.

Is your business ready?

 
Starting Jan. 1, 2026, Minnesota’s Paid Leave program will provide job protections and partial wage replacement to workers who need time off to care for themselves or a family member. Paid Leave will support your employees when they need it most and strengthen connections in our families, communities and workplaces to improve employee retention, performance and morale.
 
As an employer, you play an important role in Paid Leave. To help employers prepare and to answer questions about the new state program, Minnesota Paid Leave Director Greg Norfleet and division staff are partnering with local chambers of commerce across Minnesota for a series of regional, in-person engagement sessions to:
 

• Provide employers with program updates, respond to questions, and gather feedback.
• Share information employers need to make sure they are ready when wage detail reporting begins this October.
• Connect and establish open lines of communication with employers around the state.

 

The Laurentian Chamber of Commerce is proud to partner with DEED for an information and engagement session:

Date: Wednesday, August 21, 2024
Time: 9:15 A.M. - 10:30 A.M.
Location: Minnesota North College - Virginia Campus

 
All local employers are invited to attend. Light refreshments provided. REGISTER HERE.
