DirectionsThe Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry’s (DLI’s) Labor Standards Division protects all Minnesota workers regardless
The Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry (DLI) has recovered more than $334,000 in back wages for construction workers who were not paid the correct prevailing wage or overtime wages.
Under Minnesota Statutes 176.102, vocational rehabilitation is designed to:
restore the injured worker to a job related to his or her former employment; or
return the injured worker to a job in another work area that produces an economic status as close as possible to what he or she would have enjoyed without a disability.
A rehabilitation consultation is required when requested at any time by any party and it must be provided under the disability status report circumstances.

Registered apprenticeship is a time tested “earn-and-learn” workforce development model that provides family-supporting wages to apprentices in existing, new and high-demand industries throughout Minnesota resulting in highly skilled workers.

If you are a worker injured on the job, you may be eligible for rehabilitation benefits, depending on the extent of your injuries. The following paragraphs briefly explain the services that may be available to you.
