SF 2153 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Job misclassification prohibition provision

This bill prohibits employers from misclassifying employees to avoid providing proper wages or benefits. Specifically, it amends Minnesota law to ban employers from placing workers in job categories or titles that falsely represent their actual duties, experience, or responsibilities (e.g., labeling a full-time worker as an independent contractor). The law directly affects employers who misclassify workers and protects employees who are denied rightful compensation, overtime, or benefits due to inaccurate job classifications. It adds a specific prohibition to Minnesota Statutes § 181.03, making such misclassification a clear violation.
