This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 181.03, by adding a new subdivision that mandates staffing services to pay wages to their employees for canceled assignments. Specifically, if an employee has reasonably relied on a placement for a shift or day and the staffing service cancels that assignment, the employee is entitled to receive payment for that time. The bill defines "staffing service" according to the existing statute in section 268.035, subdivision 21d.

The new provision aims to protect employees of staffing services by ensuring they are compensated even when assignments do not go as planned. The bill will take effect the day after it is enacted, reinforcing the commitment to fair wage practices for workers in the staffing industry.
