MARSHALL - It had been a difficult time for the Coco Avenue boutique, Laura Guza-Antony said. "I just think the economy had a lot to do with it," she said. "Since COVID, how people shop has changed." To top things off, this past winter was a terrible one for retail shopping, she said. | | | |

Minnesota Resources for Startups & Small Businesses | |
Earned sick and safe time | |
Earned sick and safe time (ESST) is a new Minnesota law that will impact employers and employees throughout the state, when it begins Jan. 1, 2024. ESST will be overseen and enforced by the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry (DLI). I am emailing to provide you with resources that may help the network of employers you work with as they prepare to implement this law in their workplaces.
-
DLI has created an ESST homepage with basic information, fact sheets and videos in multiple languages and other resources: www.dli.mn.gov/sick-leave
-
Frequently asked questions covering accrual, front loading, carry-over, and coverage have been added to DLI’s website. ESST FAQs can be found here: www.dli.mn.gov/business/employment-practices/faqs-earned-sick-and-safe-time-esst
-
DLI will host ESST informational webinars on October 5 and October 11, 2023. Those interested in participating can find additional information about the webinars and register to attend here: https://dli.mn.gov/events
-
If employers have specific questions about ESST they can contact the Labor Standards Division of DLI at 651-284-5075 (M-F from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm) or dli.laborstandards@state.mn.us
If your organization is interested in working with DLI to host a presentation, please email us.

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.
