This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 177.25, by adding a new subdivision that mandates overtime pay for employees who work on holidays. Specifically, it stipulates that any work performed on a holiday, as defined in section 645.44, subdivision 5, must be compensated at a rate of at least 1.5 times the employee's regular pay rate.

The introduction of this provision aims to ensure that employees receive fair compensation for their labor during holidays, recognizing the additional burden and sacrifice associated with working on these designated days. This change reflects a commitment to labor rights and the importance of work-life balance for employees in Minnesota.
