The authors wish to express appreciation to Elizabeth Hadley, Robert Imes, Stephanie Lewis, Lauren Polite, Jalena Specht, and Nicole Tapay for their work developing earlier editions of these guides.

The authors also wish to express appreciation to the staff of the Minnesota Department of Commerce and the United States Department of Labor. Their help was invaluable in our research and understanding of applicable law and policy.  Without them, this guide would not have been possible. However, any mistakes that may appear are our own.
