The 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.

Additionally, the bill includes an effective date provision stating that the new requirements will take effect the day after the bill is enacted. This legislation aims to provide financial protection for employees of staffing services, ensuring they are compensated even when assignments do not proceed as planned.
