Ogletree Deakins: Minneapolis Safe and Sick Leave Ordinance Survives Broad Injunction Threat but Is Restricted to Employers Within City Limits | Practical Law

This Law Firm Publication by Ogletree, Deakins, Nash, Smoak & Stewart, P.C addresses a January 19, 2017 order issued by a Hennepin County district judge, denying a broad injunction to prevent the Minneapolis Safe and Sick Time Ordinance from becoming effective on July 1, 2017. The court found that the city could enact the ordinance and rejected the claim that state law preempted municipal regulation on the subject of paid sick leave. However, the court granted a temporary injunction to limit application of the ordinance to employers within the Minneapolis city limits, preventing its application to those workers who only occasionally work in Minneapolis.
