Effective January 1, 2008 Minnesota employers with more than 20 employees must begin notifying new hires in writing of their “rights and remedies” under the Minnesota Statutes §181.960 - §181.966 which allows them to review their personnel file.

The form of the notice is not specified in the law, so there are options for employers to comply.  Employers should either revise their current handbook so it provides the notice upon hire or create a “written notice” that documents that each new hire has been given the notice.

A sample form is available here.

MADA Counsel Jim Schutjer has created a Special Legal Bulletin for dealers detailing the new requirements effective January 1, 2008

It's available in our Legal area along with sample compliance forms.

Dealers may wish to attend training sessions in mid December where Jim will work through the new requirements.
