MN HF2990

Amends Minnesota Statutes section 181.9413 to add mother-in-law and father-in-law to the list of relatives for whom employees may use sick leave benefits.

Employees may use personal sick leave for reasonable periods needed to care for a child, adult child, spouse, sibling, parent, mother-in-law, father-in-law, grandparent, or stepparent who is ill or injured.

Employers may limit sick leave used for adult child, spouse, sibling, parent, mother-in-law, father-in-law, grandparent, or stepparent care to no less than 160 hours in any 12-month period, but this limit does not apply to care for a minor child.

Applies only to personal sick leave benefits paid from the employer's general assets and does not restrict employers from providing greater sick leave benefits.
