Minnesota's WARN Act protects workers facing layoffs or plant closures. Employers in Minnesota are mandated to provide advance notice to employees before impending closures or layoffs. This notice helps employees by giving them time to find another job.
Wrongful termination in Minnesota occurs when an employer fires an employee for reasons that are prohibited by law. While Minnesota is an “at-will” employment state, meaning employers can generally terminate employees at any time, this does not extend to illegal or public policy-violating reasons.
Minnesota is an employment-at-will state, which means that without a written employee contract, employees can be terminated for any reason at any time, provided that the reason is not discriminatory and that the employer is not retaliating against the employee for a rightful action.

What are the rules that govern redundancy procedures? The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act requires private sector employers to give 60 days' notice of mass layoffs and plant closures; it allows a number of exceptions for unforeseen emergencies and other cases.
The law says you are protected when you: Speak up about wages that are owed to you • Report an injury or a health and safety hazard • File a claim or complaint with a state agency • Join together with other workers to ask for changes.
Every employee in Minnesota should have a restroom break every 4 hours of work. If an employee works 8 hours or more, employers must provide a 30-minute meal break. In addition, breaks of less than 20 minutes must be counted as worked hours.
Under most Minnesota and federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination and retaliation, a wrongfully terminated employee is entitled to compensation for the emotional “pain and suffering” resulting from their termination.
