Minnesota Paid Leave Law (MN PLL)

Update (07/31/26, Effective 01/01/27): The 2027 premium rates for the Minnesota Paid Leave Law (MN PLL) program have been confirmed, and thankfully, the rates will remain the same as established for the 2026 year.

To confirm, the premium rate will remain at 0.88% of covered wages in Minnesota, and 0.66% for Paid Leave small employers, split between both employers and employees. Employees will contribute up to 0.44%, regardless of employer size up to the Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance (OASDI) limit. Large employers with over 30 Minnesota employees are expected to contribute the remaining 0.44%, while small employers with 30 or fewer employees are expected to contribute at least 25% of the premiums (i.e., 0.22% of the total premium). As a reminder, there is a premium calculator available to help employers estimate costs under the program.

Updates to your company handbook may need to be made if you include Minnesota state-specific leave benefits information.

Employers are required to post a notice within the workplace as well as provide the notice to new hires, and annually thereafter.

The Larkin Company will consider any law changes carefully, and update our internal resources and processes, as well as our employee leave information packets, if necessary.
