Minnesota Paid Leave (MNPL) is an insurance program designed to help people in Minnesota take paid time off work for family or medical reasons.

Minnesota Paid Leave law is funded through employer and employee contributions. It is different from the federal Family and Medical Leave Act, and from any other benefits the City of Wadena might already offer.

Paid Leave offers payments and job protections for some of life's most important moments. Eligibility for payments depends on how much you earned in the past year.

To receive payments, you must apply and be approved for leave. To be approved, you must experience an event that qualifies for Paid Leave and your leave may need to be certified by a professional.
