Minnesota Independent Contractor Test
Effective: March 1st, 2025
Effective March 1st, Minnesota law will consider a worker as an independent contractor if they are operating as a business entity that meets certain requirements at the time services are provided or performed. This applies to contactors performing building construction or improvement services, fields where it can be complicated to define someone as an employee or a contractor.
There are many requirements a business entity must meet to be considered a contractor under this law, which you can find here.
It is important to note that, while this refers to state requirements, the Department of Labor also has a test for determining independent contractor status under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), which must also be considered. This test was updated at the beginning of 2024. For more information, you can find Vida HR’s article on the subject HERE.
