Does Tilt support Minnesota's paid sick and safe time law?

Here's how sick and safe time works outside of Tilt

 

Quick answer
 The Minnesota Earned Sick and Safe Time law (ESST) requires covered employers to provide paid sick and safe time to eligible employees, and some cities have additional requirements. Tilt generally does not support time taken under this law, since it functions more like PTO than a formal leave.

Who this applies to / Prerequisites

  • Employers and employees in Minnesota covered by ESST, subject to any additional local city requirements.

Key facts

  1. Minnesota's ESST law requires covered employers to provide paid sick and safe time to eligible employees.
  2. Some Minnesota cities have additional sick and safe time requirements beyond the state law.
  3. Programs like this typically require employers to offer 5–10 sick and/or safe days, often with accrual and carryover provisions, functioning more like PTO than a formal leave.

What if it doesn't work

  • I'm not sure whether my absence should go through Tilt or my company's sick time system: Most employers manage this time within their existing time and attendance systems rather than through a Tilt leave process — contact your Leave Success Manager for guidance.
  • I'm not sure if my city has additional requirements: Check with your HR team or contact your Leave Success Manager.
  • If none of these apply, contact your Leave Success Manager (employees) or Customer Success Manager (HR teams).

Limits and exceptions

  • Tilt does not currently support time taken under Minnesota's ESST law or similar paid sick and safe time laws.
  • The leave laws described in the related Minnesota articles are generally for private employers; public/state employers may have additional or different requirements.
  • Some Minnesota cities have additional ESST-related requirements beyond the statewide law.
