Minnesota Frontline Worker Pay

This webinar is for HR professionals and Executive Leadership

On April 29th, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz signed a bill passed by the Minnesota Legislature providing bonus pay for eligible COVID-19 frontline workers.

This bill will apply to employees in these industries:

• long-term care and home care;
• health care;
• emergency responders;
• public health, social service, and regulatory service;
• courts and corrections;
• child care;
• schools, including charter schools, state schools and higher education;
• food service, including production, processing, preparation, sale and delivery;
• retail, including sales, fulfillment, distribution and delivery;
• temporary shelters and hotels;
• building services, including maintenance, janitorial and security;
• public transit;
• ground and air transportation services;
• manufacturing; and
• vocational rehabilitation.

It is anticipated the application period will be open from June 8 through July 22 and employers in the identified frontline sector must provide a notice to employees. Eligibility criteria for Frontline Worker Pay are set forth in the law and there are many nuances and details included as well. We hope you can join Erik Hinz and Jessica Roe on June 15th at 2 pm as they discuss the announcement and answer your questions!
