January 2026 Issue of The Whistler

We hope you had the opportunity to rest, recharge, and spend quality time with your family.

With the arrival of the new year, Minnesota introduces its Paid Family & Medical Leave program. This initiative allows employees to take paid time off for various reasons, including recovering from illness, welcoming a new child, caring for family members, or addressing unforeseen life events. This is a significant advancement in promoting the well-being of workers and families throughout the state.

For further details, please contact your Human Resources Department at your workplace, or visit the website at www.info.paidleave.mn.gov for more information.

Cheers to a healthy, supportive, and fabulous 2026!
