Minnesota Payday Law

The U.S. Department of Labor's state payday table marks semi-monthly, monthly pay for Minnesota. DOL's note: Minnesota. "Under Minnesota statute, employers are required to pay their employees for all wages including salary, earnings and gratuities at least once every 31 days, and all commissions earned by an employee at least once every three months on a regular payday. Employees engaged in transitory employment must be paid at intervals of not more than 15 days. Employees of 'public service corporations doing business within this state' are required to be paid at least semimonthly the wages earned by them within 15 days of the date of such payment, unless prevented by inevitable casualty."

The DOL table marks semi-monthly, monthly for Minnesota, not biweekly. Whether a biweekly payroll satisfies the state rule depends on the statute's wording, so confirm with the state labor department.

The DOL table was last revised January 1, 2023. This site checks it every week and flags any change for review. The state's own labor department is the authority.
