As of January 1, 2008, Minnesota employers with 20 or more employees must give written notice to all new hires of their rights to access their personnel files along with the remedies associated with that review. The law does not specify a preferred method of communicating this required notice. This sample language is designed to provide an example of how a company could meet this new requirement. Always refer to the specific laws or regulations for detailed descriptions of provisions and obligations. It is advisable to have legal counsel review final documents prior to implementation.
