MN SF4492

Removes the restriction that previously prohibited employers with approved private paid leave plans from receiving small employer assistance grants under Minnesota's family and medical leave program

Eligible employers must have 30 or fewer employees and average wages at or below 150% of the state's average wage in covered employment

Grants of up to $3,000 are available when employers hire temporary workers or increase existing workers' wages to cover for employees on family or medical leave for 7+ days, with a maximum of $6,000 per employer annually

Total grant funding is capped at $5,000,000 per calendar year from the family and medical benefit insurance account

Effective the day following final enactment
