The City Council for Bloomington, Minnesota, has recently adopted amendments to what was previously known as its Sick and Safe Leave Time Ordinance, aligning it more closely with Minnesota’s overarching Sick and Safe Time Law. Now referred to as the Sick and Safe Time Ordinance, the amendments, aptly titled Ordinance No. 2023-24 § 23.05, are expected to become effective starting from January 1, 2024.
These ordinances communicate the rights and responsibilities of both employers and employees regarding sick and safe leaves. As such, these amendments are of paramount importance to corporations and law firms based in Bloomington, or those seeking to navigate the complexities of Minnesota’s worker leave laws in the future.
While details of the amendments remain unclear due to the unavailability of the full text of the Ordinance, legal professionals are encouraged to watch this space for updates. Continued monitoring will help ensure compliance and allow for timely preparation for any adjustments that may be necessary to existing workplace policies and procedures.
