Bill > SF3342

This bill requires staffing services to pay wages to employees for canceled 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 being placed in that job. The bill defines a "staffing service" using the existing definition in Minnesota Statutes section 268.035, subdivision 21d. This provision aims to protect temporary or contract workers from financial loss when employers suddenly cancel their scheduled work. The new law would take effect the day after it is officially enacted, providing immediate protection for staffing service employees who experience last-minute assignment cancellations. By requiring payment for canceled shifts, the bill seeks to provide more financial stability and predictability for workers in the staffing and temporary employment sector.
