Earned Sick & Safe Time (ESST)

Do You Know Your Rights Under Minnesota’s Earned Sick and Safe Time Law?

Effective Jan. 1, 2024, Minnesota’s earned sick and safe time law requires employers to provide paid leave to most employees who work in the state.  


Eligible employees earn one hour of sick and safe time for every 30 hours worked and can earn a maximum of 48 hours each year unless the employer agrees to a higher amount.  

Sick and safe time can be used for various reasons, including:

·  When an employee is sick

·  To care for a sick family member

·  To seek assistance if an employee or their family member has experienced domestic abuse, stalking, or sexual assault

·  Closure of the employee’s workplace due to weather or public emergency or closure of a family member’s school or care facility due to weather or public emergency

There’s more to know!
