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" in accordance with existing law.

The new provision aims to protect employees of staffing services by ensuring they are compensated even when assignments do not go as planned. This change is intended to provide financial security for workers who depend on these placements, reinforcing their rights in the employment landscape. The effective date for this amendment is set for the day following its final enactment.
