Bill > HF3111

This bill amends Minnesota's definition of "employee" for earned sick and safe time requirements by expanding the list of exemptions. The proposed changes would exclude several categories of workers from being considered employees eligible for sick and safe time, including: temporary employees, individuals who are not scheduled on a prescheduled basis and are available to work on an as-needed basis, students in high school or postsecondary institutions receiving on-the-job training or paid internships, and individuals normally scheduled to work less than 25 hours per week. The bill maintains existing exemptions for independent contractors, volunteer and paid on-call firefighters and ambulance personnel, elected or appointed officials, and individuals employed by farms for 28 days or less annually. These modifications effectively narrow the scope of workers who would be entitled to earned sick and safe time benefits under Minnesota law, potentially reducing employer obligations for certain types of workers.
