Payment of wages for employees of staffing services required for canceled assignments.

AI Generated Summary

Purpose of the Bill

The bill aims to provide financial protection for employees of staffing services in Minnesota. It ensures that workers receive payment for assignments that are canceled by the staffing service after the employee has relied on being placed for work.

Main Provisions

  • Mandatory Wage Payment: The bill requires staffing services to pay their employees for shifts or assignments if the service cancels these after the employee has been scheduled and relied on this assignment for work.
  • Definition Usage: The bill uses the definition of "staffing service" as specified in another section of Minnesota statutes, ensuring clarity on the entities to which this law applies.

Significant Changes to Existing Law

  • Amendment to Minnesota Statutes: The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024 section 181.03 by adding a new subdivision that mandates payment for canceled work assignments to employees of staffing services. This change provides legal backing for employees to be compensated for the loss of expected income due to last-minute cancellations by staffing services.
