Graphic reads: Earned Sick and Safe Time Expanded
Minnesota Earned Sick and Safe Time Expanded

The University has approved the expansion of the Earned Sick and Safe Time (ESST) benefit to non-Minnesota resident employees. Employees who live outside Minnesota and were previously not eligible will now be eligible for the benefit at the same rate as employees who are Minnesota residents.

The system update is complete and employees who reside outside of Minnesota will be given ESST credit for time worked since the program’s launch on January 1, 2024. As with other sick time programs, accruals will be automatically tracked in MyU. Questions should be directed to your local human resource leader.
