Minnesota law requires employers to provide some notices to their employees and requires certain posters to be displayed in a location where employees can easily see them.

The posters and notices are available at no cost from the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry (DLI) and need to be updated only when Minnesota law changes. The following is a summary of some recent changes and updates.

Posters

Minimum-wage poster -- updated

All employers are required to display this poster in a location where employees can easily see it. Minimum-wage rates increase Jan. 1, 2024. This poster is available in Chinese, English, Hmong, Somali and Spanish.

Veterans benefits and services poster -- new

As of Jan. 1, 2024, all employers with more than 50 full-time employees are required to display this poster in a location where employees can easily see it. This poster is available in English.

Earned sick and safe time poster -- new

As of Jan. 1, 2024, Minnesota's new earned sick and safe time law requires employers to provide paid leave to employees who work in the state. DLI has created an informational poster employers are encouraged, but not required, to display where employees can easily see it. This poster is available in Chinese, English, Hmong, Somali and Spanish.

Notices

Earned sick and safe time -- new

All employers must provide notice about earned sick and safe time to each of their employees by Jan. 1, 2024, or at the state of employment if employment starts after Jan. 1, 2024. Employers that have an employee handbook must include the notice in the handbook. The notice is currently available in English, but will be available shortly in Chinese, Hmong, Somali, Spanish and several other languages.

Employer-sponsored meetings or communications notice -- new

All employers must post notice of employees' rights under the new employer-sponsored meetings or communications law. DLI does not have authority under this law to prescribe the poster the employer must use, but provides this text from the law:  "State law prohibits employers from taking or threatening to take any adverse employment action against employees who decline to attend employer-sponsored meetings concerning religious or political matters (see Minnesota Statutes 181.531)."

For questions about implementation, employers should consult with an employment attorney.

To order or print posters

Posters and notices can be printed directly from DLI's Workplace notices and posters webpage or ordered via online form, telephone or email.
