Minnesota-Specific Posting Requirements

In addition to the federal labor law posters listed above, Minnesota employers are also required to post the following mandatory state labor law posters. They must be displayed in a conspicuous and accessible place. Businesses that fail to post these notifications may be subject to penalties or fines.

• *Minnesota Age Discrimination Poster: This poster explains that, under Minnesota law, employers cannot take any employment-related actions, such as hiring, firing, or demoting, because of an employee’s age.
• *Minnesota Minimum Wage Rates Poster: This poster sets forth the new minimum wage rates for Minnesota employers as of January 1, 2021. For large employers with annual gross revenues of $500,000 or more, the minimum wage is $10.08 per hour. For all other employers, and for wages for training, minors, and J-1 visa holders, the minimum wage is $8.21 per hour. The poster also advises employees of their right to overtime after 48 hours for large employers and 40 hours for small or state-covered employers. Additionally, the poster notifies employees that employers cannot discriminate or retaliate against them for reporting a violation of law or for refusing to participate in illegal activity.
• *Minnesota Safety and Health Protection on the Job Poster: This poster details requirements for employers and the rights of employees under the Minnesota Occupational Safety and Health Act, including reporting obligations for workplace injuries and illnesses.
• *Minnesota Unemployment Insurance Poster: This poster notifies employees of their right to file for unemployment benefits and provides the website and contact information for the Minnesota Unemployment Insurance Program.
