Employee definition modified for the purposes of earned sick and safe time

SF 310 amends Minnesota's earned sick and safe time law by updating the definition of "employee." It specifically excludes certain farm workers: those employed by a family farm or farm corporation with five or fewer total employees, or those working 28 days or less per year for the farm. This change directly affects farm laborers under these conditions, removing their eligibility for the state's earned sick time benefits. The bill modifies Minnesota Statutes section 181.9445, subdivision 5, to clarify these exclusions. The law remains neutral, focusing on the policy change to the eligibility criteria.
