What is the process for requesting a leave of absence in the State of Minnesota?

In the State of Minnesota, an employee must request a leave of absence from their employer. Generally, the employee should provide the employer with a written request for the leave, which should include the details of the leave such as the dates, the reason for the leave, and the type of leave requested (e.g. vacation, medical, etc.).
