REMINDER: Statewide earned sick and safe time takes effect January 1, 2024
Starting January 1, 2024, every Minnesota employer is mandated to:
- Provide one hour of fully paid sick time for every 30 hours worked, up to 48 hours a year with a carry over up to 80 hours, including temporary and part-time employees.
- Employees must be paid at the same rate they would earn if they were working.
- Employees may take this time off to care for a broad-based definition of “family members.”
-
Employers must provide notice to all employees that include a significant amount of required information. Click here to view a sample notice.
- Employers will be required to include additional information on earnings statements as well as keep records of hours worked and other information.
- The Department of Labor and Industry (DLI) oversees compliance and penalties.
Outreach from the Department of Labor and Industry to businesses on this issue has been sporadic. It's important for you to read this information and ensure your business is in compliance by utilizing these helpful webinars, FAQs and other resources in the earned sick and safe section of the Minnesota Chamber's guide to the 2023 session.

IRS MILEAGE REIMBURSEMENT RATE
The IRS standard mileage rate will be 67 cents per mile driven for business purposes (up from 65.5 cents in 2023). This rate also applies to electric and hybrid vehicles.
Use of this rate is optional, though it’s widely accepted as an easy and standard reimbursement rate for employees who use their personal vehicle for work. If your organization uses the IRS rate to calculate mileage reimbursement, be sure to update your systems to account for this change.

Headlines from the Marshall Independent | |
'It's a Scandinavian thing' | MARSHALL - Mary Mitzner learned how to make lefse from her family, and she plans to pass the tradition along to future generations. Mitzner and her mother, Sue Mitzner of Balaton, gave a lefse baking demonstration Wednesday at Boulder Creek Assisted Living. She works at Boulder Creek as its director of nursing. | | | |
Strong support for Marshall parks | MARSHALL - Marshall community members support their parks in a big way - and it showed in the year-end list of donations the city formally accepted earlier this month. "It shows that people support what we're doing," said Marshall Parks and Recreation Superintendent Preston Stensrud. | | | |
MARSHALL - Southwest Minnesota didn't have a white Christmas this year. But mild temperatures over the past month helped bring people outside for events like Light Up the Night, organizers said. "On all the weekends, attendance seemed good this year," said Cory Brockman, marketing and development coordinator at Prairie Home Hospice and Community Care. | | | |

Newsletter Goals & Audience
The purpose of the Chamber E-Connection newsletter is to share our member's events with other business and community members. It's an informational newsletter and helps to promote our member businesses and their events. Each Friday, our newsletter is sent to over 1,500 individuals. Our separate emails are sent to the same list, but are held especially for our Chamber events and Business After Hours.
Newsletter Policy
E-Connection events are included based on the requests from the member business. The following criteria are requested by the Marshall Area Chamber for event submissions:
*Event flyers or submissions must be an actual event. We don't include sales or promotions.
*Events can be included in the E-Connection for one week free of charge. You have the option of adding one additional week for $20.
*Submissions to be included must be sent the Wednesday prior to that Friday's E-Connection - they can be emailed to chamber@marshallmn.org.
*All event flyers are for Marshall Area Chamber of Commerce members only.
