How do I report a labor law violation?

If you believe that a labor law violation has occurred in Minnesota, you must take the proper steps to report it. The first step is to contact the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry (DLI). You can reach them by calling 651-284-5005 or, if outside the Twin Cities metro area, 1-800-342-5354 or by emailing DLI.laborstandards@state.mn.us. When you contact the DLI, you will need to provide the following information to help them investigate the violation: the employer’s name, address, and telephone number, the date of the violation, a description of the violation, and any other pertinent details. The DLI may investigate the complaint and take action if the violation is confirmed. The department may contact the employer and provide guidance to correct the violation. If the violation is serious, the DLI may issue a citation and order the employer to pay a penalty or take other corrective action. The DLI may also refer serious violations to the Minnesota Attorney General’s Office, which can prosecute the employer if warranted. It is important to report labor law violations to the DLI. This helps to protect workers’ rights and ensure employers are following the law.
