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 fair compensation for employees who are required to work during holidays, recognizing the additional burden and sacrifice involved in working during these times. This change reflects a commitment to labor rights and the importance of providing adequate financial incentives for holiday work.
