[PSA] Minnesota workers: there have been worker-friendly updates to Earned Sick and Safe Time

The new bill primarily clarifies rules that were a bit vague, but it also has new changes that will substantially improve life-work balance.

ESST can be used in at least 15 minute increments and cannot be required to use more than four-hour increments

Qualifying workers were expanded to people hired with an expectation of working 80 hours in a year, rather than actual hours worked. Some jobs still exempted

ESST usage has expanded to bereavement

ESST rules for use are expanded to all paid time off

Employers that do not provide ESST must pay the worker for twice the amount they were supposed to get in ESST
