DEED encourages employers to prepare now for Paid Leave launch

The Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) today reminded employers of the three simple steps they need to take to meet their responsibilities under the upcoming Paid Leave program. Employers must set up their Paid Leave accounts, notify employees by Dec. 1 and take optional actions to make Paid Leave work best for their workplace.

“Paid Leave will help us build on Minnesota’s standing as one of the best states for children and families,” said DEED Commissioner Matt Varilek. “Employers play a critical role in ensuring the smooth launch of the new program so that Minnesotans can take the time they need for the moments that matter most. With the Paid Leave launch only two months away, employers should take three easy steps right now to set up their accounts, notify their employees and set other policies for their staff.”

Step One: Set up Your Paid Leave Administrator Accounts Now Before launch, employers must set up their Employer Account, designate a Paid Leave Administrator within their Employer Account and create an Administrator Account with Paid Leave.
