Minnesota’s Paid Family & Medical Leave (PFML) program begins January 1, 2026. While that seems a long way away, there are layers of complexity that make implementation a little more than simply defaulting into the state plan and telling employees about it. This workshop is built for busy leaders who need straight answers on what to do and when before year‑end. And how to run a business with the program after launch. We will clarify the latest ins and outs of the program requirements and then move on to practical setup steps. We’ll focus on leave policy rationalization, employee and manager communications, and ongoing administration and compliance. We’ll also cover business continuity planning, because even when the labor market favors businesses, keeping the lights on will be a challenge as Minnesotans take full advantage of their rights under the law. This program will be rich with practical guidance and tools you can put to use right now. We’ll help you make sense of the vast amount of information and resources being made available to employers and point you to the ones that matter most right now. You’ll leave with a working checklist and a copy of the slides for those who register. Steve Schad is the founder of Optima HR Solutions, a Minnesota‑based HR outsourcing and advisory firm. He leads PFML readiness and implementation for the firm, which serves clients across the state, aligning payroll, benefits, and leave administration with daily operations. Steve has delivered multiple presentations to chambers, CPA firms, and executive groups, and provides practical guidance in boardrooms and online. He brings hands‑on operational experience and clear, plain‑spoken guidance tailored to small and midsized employers. Optima HR Solutions provides fractional HR leadership and outsourced HR operations.

https://gofan.co/app/school/MN9805?activity=Performing%20Arts Come see this amazing production and all the hard work this cast and crew have put into it! Get Your Tickets Today! Inspired by the twisted genius of Roald Dahl, the Tony Award-winning Roald Dahl's Matilda The Musical is the captivating masterpiece from the Royal Shakespeare Company that revels in the anarchy of childhood, the power of imagination and the inspiring story of a girl who dreams of a better life. With book by Dennis Kelly and original songs by Tim Minchin, Matilda has won 47 international awards and continues to thrill sold-out audiences of all ages around the world. Matilda is a little girl with astonishing wit, intelligence and psychokinetic powers. She's unloved by her cruel parents but impresses her school teacher Miss Honey. During her first term at school, the two forge a bond as Miss Honey begins to recognize and appreciate Matilda's extraordinary personality. Matilda's school life isn't completely smooth sailing, however – the school's mean headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, hates children and just loves to punish those who don't abide by her rules. But Matilda has courage and cleverness in equal amounts, and could be the school pupils' saving grace! Packed with high-energy dance numbers, catchy songs and an unforgettable star turn for a young actress, Matilda is a joyous girl power romp. Children and adults alike will be thrilled and delighted by the story of the special little girl with an extraordinary imagination.
