Minnesota paid family and medical leave begins in 2026
Minnesota’s new Paid Leave program will require all employers to begin payroll contributions and offer job-protected family and medical leave starting January 1, 2026, with the first premium payment due April 30, 2026. Employers must also provide written notices to employees and display state-issued posters by December 1, 2025, and should prepare a formal Paid Leave policy to ensure compliance.
