AI Generated Summary
Senate File No. 310 is a proposed law in Minnesota that aims to change the definition of "employee" for the purposes of earned sick and safe time. The bill specifies that an "employee" includes anyone who works for an employer in Minnesota, including temporary and part-time workers, as long as they are expected to work at least 80 hours in a year for that employer. However, the definition explicitly excludes certain groups, such as independent contractors, volunteer and on-call firefighters, volunteer ambulance attendants, elected officials, and small farm employees under specific conditions. This change intends to clarify who qualifies for paid sick and safe time, ensuring more workers are covered under this policy.
