Practical Notes
If you work for a Minnesota government employer (a county, city, town, school district, or the state), this section confirms that you have the same ability to assign or transfer your salary or wages as a private-sector employee does, so public employment alone is not a barrier to a wage assignment. Other Minnesota laws still govern how wage assignments must be made, so review those requirements before assigning wages.
