Summary of differences between federal and state regulations
Employer defined
“Employer” means a person who has one or more employees.
Unlawful employment practices
Minnesota considers sexual harassment to be a form of discrimination protected under the Human Rights Act. The state definition of sexual harassment is essentially the same as that under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and the federal Guidelines on Discrimination Because of Sex. Charges must be filed within one year of the alleged unlawful act.
An agency of a city, county, or group of counties may be created as a local commission for the purpose of dealing with discrimination on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, age, disability, marital status, status with regard to public assistance, sexual orientation, or familial status. If a county or group of counties creates a local commission, the commission does not have jurisdiction over any part of the county that is within the jurisdiction of a local commission created by city charter or municipal ordinance.
