Definition of "seasonal employee" under the Minnesota Paid Leave Law modified.
This bill modifies Minnesota's Paid Leave Law to expand the definition of "seasonal employee" from 150 days to 180 days within a 52-week period, specifically for workers in the hospitality industry. Under the new rules, employers must certify that an employee meets the extended duration limit and that the business meets specific revenue thresholds to classify someone as seasonal. The legislation also requires employers to notify the state within five business days if a seasonal employee no longer qualifies for that status. Employees classified as seasonal under these criteria would remain ineligible for paid leave benefits during weeks they are employed in that capacity.
