Minnesota Creates New PFML Coverage Statewide

Minnesota is the latest state to enact new paid family and medical leave legislation. 

‍

Under the newly signed law, will be able to take up to 12 weeks for personal medical issues per year as well as 12 weeks per year for care-taking, bonding with newborns, managing emergencies, and other qualifying circumstances. That said, in any given year, each employee is limited to 20 weeks of paid leave total under this bill.

‍

These new provisions will become available to qualifying applicants beginning in the fall of 2026.
