Is State of Michigan Earned Sick Time on the development roadmap to ensure compliance by Feb 2025?

Summary:

On July 31, 2024, the Michigan Supreme Court reinstated the original Earned Sick Time Act (ESTA) that Michigan voters initiated in 2018. Pursuant to the supreme court’s ruling, effective February 21, 2025, Michigan employers must follow the ESTA, which covers more employers and allows for more sick time than the law previously in effect (the Paid Medical Leave Act, or PMLA). The court also reinstated the accelerated adoption of a $12 minimum wage in Michigan initiated by voters through the Improved Workforce Opportunity Wage Act (IWOWA). This ruling follows a protracted legal challenge to the PMLA.
