In Minnesota, overtime must be paid at the rate of one and one-half times the hourly rate for work in excess of 48 hours in one workweek. Exempt from overtime requirements are commissioned retail salespersons, employees installing farm equipment, parts employees, mechanics of trucks, cars, farm implements and trailers, sugar beet employees, and employees exempt from state minimum wage requirements. Action cannot be taken against nurses employed by certain health facilities based solely on their refusal to work overtime, where in the nurse's judgment, working overtime would jeopardize patient safety. At health care facilities, overtime pay is due after eight hours daily or 80 hours in a 14-day period.
