If you haven’t done so recently, I would suggest taking some time to look over the most current Minnesota Labor Law Poster. You’ll find that some changes have been made, and it’s always good to keep up on these things!

In case you aren’t aware, Minnesota law states that all employers must post a Minnesota Labor Law Poster in an area that is visible and accessible to employees so that they can be informed of their labor law rights. The Minnesota Labor Law Poster includes individual state and federal labor law notices that are mandated by the State of Minnesota. You can usually find the posters in break rooms, lunch rooms, or other rooms that employees frequently congregate in.

Did you know that the Minnesota Labor Law Poster often changes, and that it’s important for employees to be able to read current posters? Actually, it’s not only important, it’s the law!

If you are wondering what notices are included on the Minnesota Labor Law Poster, here is the basic rundown. The state notices cover Minimum Wage, Leave of Absence/Parental Leave Rights, OSHA, Discrimination, Workers’ Compensation, and Unemployment Insurance, while the federal posters explain Equal Opportunity Employment, Federal Minimum Wage, the Employee Polygraph Protection Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, OSHA’s Job Safety and Health Protection Act, and USERRA.

If you haven’t looked at the Minnesota Labor Law Poster recently, you should know that the Child Labor notice has some changes. Minimum wage has increased in this sector in the following way: for small employers, it has gone to $5.25/hour. For large employers, it has gone to $6.16/hour. The training wage for employees under 20 is $4.90/hour for the first consecutive 90 days of employment.

I hope you found this information on Minnesota Labor Law Posters informative. Thanks for reading.
