Bill > SF947

This bill modifies the definition of "employee" under Minnesota's safe and sick time law by adding a new exemption to the existing statute. Specifically, the bill adds that inmates of correctional facilities performing work within the facility while incarcerated are not considered employees for the purposes of earned sick and safe time provisions. The bill maintains the existing exemptions for independent contractors, volunteer and paid on-call firefighters and ambulance personnel, elected officials, and individuals working on farms for 28 days or less annually. By clarifying that incarcerated individuals performing work within a correctional facility are not classified as employees, the bill ensures that such workers are not covered under the state's sick and safe time regulations. This change could potentially impact how correctional facilities manage work assignments and labor policies for inmates.
