Bloomington, Minnesota has enacted an ordinance that will require employers in the city to provide sick leave to employees. Employers with five or more employees (regardless of location) must provide paid leave. Smaller employers must also provide leave, but it may be unpaid. The ordinance is effective July 1, 2023.

The Supreme Court of Minnesota, in Burt v. Rackner, Inc., has ruled that discharging an employee for refusing to share tips is illegal under the Minnesota Fair Labor Standards Act (MFLSA).

The Minnesota state poster has been updated to reflect a change in the state minimum wage.

The updated toolkit will be available on June 20 on FormSource in the Leave and Return to Work section. 

The United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit recently ruled, in Olson v. Push, Inc., that multistate employers with operations in Minnesota must comply with the Minnesota Drug and Alcohol Testing in the Workplace Act (“DATWA”), even at their non-Minnesota locations.
