Webinar: Preparing Agricultural Employers for Minnesota Paid Leave
2025-11-25 12:00 - 13:30
Register here.
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 Minnesota Paid Leave. To help you prepare for the new program, Paid Leave is partnering with the Minnesota Farm Bureau Federation (MFBF) and the Farmers Union (MFU) to host a virtual information session for farmers and agricultural employers. We will provide an overview of the program, answer your questions, and help you get ready to meet your responsibilities under Paid Leave.
Tuesday, November 25
12 – 1:30 p.m. (Central)

Register here for the event. Once you register, you will receive an email with a link to join the webinar.
More information about the Paid Leave program is available on our website: paidleave.mn.gov
