Minnesota Paid Leave Employer Engagement Session by MN DEED Recap

On behalf of the Eden Prairie Chamber of Commerce - Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Minnesota Paid Leave Employer Engagement Session by MN DEED in Eden Prairie!

On Monday morning, representatives from 200+ employers from across the southwest metro gathered to learn more about Minnesota’s new Paid Leave program and what it means for businesses, employees, and communities statewide.

Hosted in partnership with the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED), this session focused on transparency, accessibility, and early employer input as the state prepares to roll out this important benefit. Reminder to all, this program will go into effect Jan. 1, 2026. Please ensure your team is ready.  An additional note – there are private plans available that may qualify and save employers money – if you are interested in this as an option, we encourage you to reach out to your benefits provider for possible details and quotes.
