Minnesota Instructions for Response to Motion to Stop COLA are court-mandated procedures that employers must follow in cases where they are attempting to stop cost of living adjustments (COLA) or wages from increasing. Employers must file a motion with the court in order to stop COLA or wages from increasing, and the employee must be given notice of the motion and opportunity to respond. There are two types of Minnesota Instructions for Response to Motion to Stop COLA: 1. Responsive Memorandum/Brief: This document is used when the employee wishes to oppose the motion to stop COLA or wages from increasing. The employee must file a response with the court within 30 days of the motion being served. 2. Stipulation and Order: This is a written document that is filed with the court when both parties have agreed to the terms of the motion to stop COLA or wages from increasing. The employer and employee must both sign the document before it is filed with the court.
