A new bill is making headway in the Minnesota legislature that would provide paid sick leave to all workers in Minnesota. The Earned Sick and Safe Time bill, HF19, would require employers across the state to pay workers for short-term absences, including physical or mental illness, domestic abuse, sexual assault, stalking or quarantine due to exposure to infectious disease. According to the bill, employees will be eligible for the benefit after being at a job for 80 hours. Workers would accrue paid sick time at a rate of one hour for every 30 hours worked.
