2024 Michigan's 2025 Labor Laws Explained: October Live Q&A on Earned Sick Time and Minimum Wage Confirmation

Countdown to Feb. 21: New paid leave, minimum wage laws

With legislators scheduled to be in Lansing for a maximum of 13 overlapping session days between now and the end of the 2023-24 legislative session, the countdown is on to get changes passed to the so-called Earned Sick Time Act (ESTA) and minimum wage laws.
Why it matters: Absent a bipartisan legislative solution, ESTA will force employers of all sizes and types (even those with generous policies today!) to rethink their existing paid leave policies. Many employers will also need to rethink their wage scales – especially if they rely on tipped employees.

Go deeper: Review a rundown of our full list of high-level requested legislative fixes to ESTA and on minimum wage.

What you can do:

Get informed: Join us Oct. 30 for a live Q&A session on these issues, which will include an overview of what’s happened, and the key components of the new laws and implications for Michigan employers. Attendees will have the chance to have employment law experts and attorneys answer their questions and prepare for Feb. 21.

Get our compliance toolkit for a host of informational resourcs.
Make your voice heard. While our meetings with lawmakers have been productive and we’re making progress, they have yet to reach a deal to get any changes across the finish line. Legislators need to continue to hear from their constituents – including employers in their districts – on why changes are needed and asking them to fix this mess before the close of 2024.
