Wage and Hour Bulletin
September 2021
The Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry (DLI) has created a series of videos that review various wage and hour laws for employers and employees. The roughly one-to-five-minute videos review topics such as employee notice requirements, minimum wage and recordkeeping.
There are also videos geared toward those who work in the construction, restaurant and hospitality, and personal care assistant or home health care industries.
Available videos
A new webpage containing all the Labor Standards videos can be found at www.dli.mn.gov/labor-standards-videos.
