HR law, sometimes called employment law, is an area of law that focuses specifically on the workplace and workers. The aim of these laws and regulations is to promote fair and equal treatment of a company's employees.
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.
Most jobs in Minnesota fall under at-will employment, which means your employer can let you go at any time, without notice, without warning, and without giving a reason. But at-will does not mean without limits. Your employer cannot use the at-will label to cover up an illegal firing.

Most often, workers' compensation is an exclusive remedy. However, there are situations in which an employer can be held civilly liable. For example, if you are the victim of assault and battery at work, that harm can give rise to a civil suit. In addition, gross negligence can also give rise to a civil claim.
Summary. Minnesota law prohibits an employer from discriminating and retaliating against employees in a variety of protected classes. Employers must also provide pregnancy accommodations, protect whistleblowers and allow employees to access their personnel files and to discuss their wages.
