AI Summary

This bill requires staffing services to pay wages to their employees for canceled work assignments, even if the assignment is not ultimately completed. Specifically, if a staffing service assigns an employee to a shift or workday and then cancels that assignment, the employee must be compensated if they have reasonably relied on the scheduled work. The bill defines a "staffing service" using an existing definition from Minnesota Statutes section 268.035, subdivision 21d, which likely refers to temporary employment agencies or similar organizations that place workers in short-term or temporary positions. The new provision aims to protect temporary workers from financial loss when employers unexpectedly cancel their scheduled work. The bill would become effective the day after it is officially enacted, providing immediate protection for staffing service employees against last-minute job cancellations that could disrupt their expected income.
