Paid Leave is coming to Minnesota. Is your business ready?
Starting Jan. 1, 2026, Minnesota Paid Leave will provide payments and job protections to Minnesotans when they need time off for some of life’s most important moments – like welcoming a child, recovering from a serious illness, or caring for a loved one. As an employer, you play an important role in helping your employees learn about and access the program.
To help you prepare, Minnesota Paid Leave staff are partnering with local chambers of commerce for a series of in-person engagement sessions for employers. At these sessions, we will provide an overview of the program, share recent updates, answer your questions, and help you get ready to meet your responsibilities under Paid Leave.
The Red Wing Area Chamber of Commerce is proud to host Minnesota Paid Leave for an information and engagement session:
Date: Wednesday, May 21, 2025 Time: 9-10:30am Location: St. James Hotel, Summit Room (5th floor), 406 Main Street, Red Wing Register Here: Paid Leave Employer Engagement Sessions
Co-hosts: Hiawatha Valley SHRM, Lake City Chamber of Commerce
All local employers are invited to attend. Advance registration is welcomed but not required. Light refreshments will be served.
