When you get around to it ( but at least every minute ) check the MinAct flag, then do what you have to.  We assume that this process takes a bit of time, and you always try to take as little time in the interrupt as possible ( this usually makes the interrupts work better and lets you use more than one interrupt at a time).  In fact if you do not get around to executing your code within a minute it may not matter much, the time will still be kept correctly and the flag MinAct will still be set, you will miss executing "what you have to do" once but that may not matter.
