Minnesota's Employee Wage Theft Law

Thank you to everyone who was able to attend our Wage Theft Workshop. We want to remind ALL employers this law took effect 7/1/19. What is Wage Theft? Wage theft  occurs when employers do not pay their workers what is owed them for the work they have performed. It’s estimated up to 40,000 Minnesota workers pursue complaints of wage theft each year because they have been denied a fair day’s pay for a fair day’s work. If you have further questions, see the Q&A link below or make sure to contact your payroll specialist.
