Minnesota Employment Law - Employee questions and answers

• I'm working in Minnesota and I've been facing discrimination because of my sexual orientation.

  Asked in Minneapolis, MN

  Everything was normal when I was hired. However, about two months into working, I let it slip out that I have a wife (we are both women). Since then, my coworkers have been treating me differently. I'm worried about my rights and what protections I have.

• How does Minnesota's overtime law work?

  Asked in Minneapolis, MN

  I'm a nurse in Minnesota and I'm currently salaried full time. Currently, our hospital is short staffed and I am coming in early and staying late to help with coverage requirements. I'm wondering if I'm entitled to overtime pay under Minnesota state law.

• I walked out on my job after 3.5 years because I couldn't get off work to sit with my dying mother in law.

  Asked in Paynesville, MN

  I was told that once my 10 hrs of PTO were used up that I would need to find coverage to attend the funeral. So I never returned. My dad died 2 weeks after my mother-in-law. I was completely devastated over these deaths, and my job treated me with so little compassion. There was lots of bad talk about me after all this happened. Do I have any options here?
