Required employer notice
Within 15 days after the application period is opened, employers in the identified frontline sectors must provide notice to all current workers who may be eligible for Frontline Worker Pay. An employer notice that meets this obligation will be available at frontlinepay.mn.gov as soon as the application dates are finalized.

Help spread the word about Frontline Worker Pay. We’ve created an outreach toolkit with sample text for newsletters, social media posts and graphics, and more. The content will also be translated soon into Hmong, Somali and Spanish.
We encourage everyone to use our resources to help spread the word to those workers who may be eligible to apply.
