Paid Leave is a Minnesota law. If you are eligible (see next section), you have the right to take up to 12 weeks of paid medical leave and up to 12 weeks of family leave in a year. But if you take both kinds of leave, you can only take up to 20 weeks of paid leave total in a year.

Paid Leave is a job-protected leave. This means your employer must give you back your same job or a job like your old job at the end of your Paid Leave time. During your leave, you get to keep the same health insurance coverage and other benefits like retirement or disability benefits that you had while you were at work. You have to keep paying your part of the premiums.

To be eligible to take Paid Leave, you must:

1. work at least half of the time in Minnesota,
2. have been employed at that place for at least 90 days,
3. have earned at least $3,700 in the last year (this can come from more than one job), and
4. need to take time off for a medical or family reason (see the next section) that lasts at least 7 days

Medical Leave Reasons:

• you have a serious health condition,

Family Leave Reasons:

• you need to care for your family member’s serious health condition,
• you need to care for and bond with your new biological child, adopted child, or foster child,
• you need to support a family member who is called to active military duty,
• you need to take care of a safety issue like domestic violence, assault, or stalking

A “serious health condition” means a “physical or mental illness, injury, impairment, condition, or substance use disorder.” It includes childbirth, conditions related to pregnancy, or surgery.

You get paid some of your regular wages while you are on Paid Leave. Most people are paid between 55% and 90% of their normal wages. How much you get paid depends on how much you normally earn. 

If you normally earn:

• up to $686 a week, you get 90% of your normal wages.
• between $686 and $1,372 a week, you get 66% of your normal wages.
• more than $1,372 a week, you get 55% of your normal wages.

If you have sick or vacation time at your job, you can use this time during your Paid Leave time. Your employer may say you have to use it. Your sick or vacation time can be used to pay you the difference between your Paid Leave amount and your normal wages.
