Dear VRS Community Partners,
Beginning on January 1, 2024, the Department of Labor and Industry’s (DOLI) Earned Sick and Safe Time (ESST) law went into effect for all Minnesota employers. Sick and safe time is paid leave employers must provide to employees in Minnesota.
This new law will impact our Community Partners that serve as a payroll agent for individuals in work experiences and have payment of wages on their VRS Professional/Technical contract.
We have created a video that outlines how this new law will be incorporated into our work and how we will authorize for this required sick and safe leave.
Please click here to learn how this Earned Sick and Safe Time will be authorized and invoiced on behalf of our participants:
