Bill > SF841

This bill establishes the "Emergency Rehire and Retention Law," which provides rehire and retention protections for laid-off workers during a declared emergency, such as a national security or public health emergency. It requires employers in certain industries, like hotels, event centers, and airport operations, to offer job positions to their previously laid-off employees before hiring new workers, and to retain eligible employees for at least 90 days if there is a change in control of the enterprise. The bill also authorizes the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry to investigate complaints and enforce the law's provisions, which include potential awards of hiring, reinstatement, and back pay for affected employees.
