On July 19, 2021, the Duluth City Council passed File No 21-023-O, an amendment to the city’s Earned Sick and Safe Time ordinance. The mayor signed the amendment shortly thereafter and it will be effective on August 19, 2021.
The amendment allows covered employees to use the sick and safe leave provided by the ordinance when their employers close for reasons relating to public health. In addition, the amendment requires employers to include their polices related to this sick and safe leave in their employee handbooks, to display or provide a city-created poster to employees, or provide a company-created notice that advises employees of their rights under the ordinance. It also allows the city to order employers to provide employees with written notice of a violation and the corrective action taken.
Employers with employees who work at least 50% of their time in Duluth should be aware of this ordinance and its amendment.
