Saint Paul, Minn., Legis. Code ch. 183 § 183.13
Interference with pension rights
Operative Text
For purposes of Section 183.03 , discrimination on account of age shall include acts which interfere with an employee's opportunity to acquire pension credits or pension benefits when the interference cannot be shown to have been based on just cause related to the employee's status with regard to pension credits or pension benefits.
Saint Paul Legislative Code ch. 183 § 183.13 expands the definition of age discrimination to cover actions that block or hinder an employee's ability to earn pension credits or pension benefits. Such interference is treated as discriminatory unless the party responsible can demonstrate a legitimate, pension-related reason for the action. This provision operates within the broader anti-discrimination framework established by Section 183.03.

Under Saint Paul Legislative Code ch. 183 § 183.13, property owners and managers who employ staff should be aware that workplace decisions affecting pension credit accrual or benefit eligibility may be scrutinized as potential age discrimination. Compliant operators generally ensure that employment actions touching on pension matters are documented with clear, job- or pension-status-related justifications. Reviewing personnel policies for any practices that could inadvertently restrict pension opportunities is a common step taken by operators seeking to align with this provision.
