Navigating Michigan’s New Paid Leave and Minimum Wage Law Coming Changes

These changes stem from a recent Michigan Supreme Court ruling that invalidated amendments made by the legislature to 2018 ballot initiatives. This decision restores the original 2018 versions of the Wage Act and Earned Sick Time Act (ESTA), meaning businesses must make adjustments to stay compliant.
