Background
The Michigan Supreme Court’s recent ruling on earned sick time and minimum wage marks a major change in Michigan’s labor laws, requiring employers to change their policies and procedures. As businesses brace for higher labor costs and new challenges, the Michigan Chamber of Commerce will work with legislators to lessen the impact and support a smoother transition for all affected industries. Members of the Michigan House and Senate must come together to pass practical and commonsense legislation to lessen the harm of the Court’s decision on paid leave and minimum wage.
