What’s Next on Earned Sick Time and Minimum Wage in Michigan

What’s Next on Earned Sick Time and Minimum Wage in Michigan – February 7, 2023
 
The Chambers chief legislative lobbyist Wendy Block will be joined by veteran labor and employment attorney Don Lawless of Barnes & Thornburg, LLP to present this program and take your questions.
During oral arguments on December 13, 2022, the parties requested a decision from the Michigan Court of Appeals by February 1, 2023, on the earned sick time and minimum wage laws.  The trial court's decision for overturning these amended laws expires on February 19, 2023.
 
This program will:
•        Cover the basic requirements of the ESTA and WOWA as compared to the current Paid Medical Leave Act and minimum wage laws
•        Evaluate the prospect of Michigan Supreme Court action and its potential impact on both laws going into effect
•        Look at potential legislative action on both statutes to revise or scale-up the requirements of each law
•        Help you develop required policy and budget contingency plans if the ESTA and WOWA become law

Plus, all participants will receive a detailed comparison chart highlighting the differences between the PMLA and the ESTA to include:
•        Which employers are covered (all of them)
•        Which workers are covered (all of them)
•        Leave accrual, availability for use, and carry-over
•        Notice and documentation requirements
•        Whether other types of paid leave may be used toward the 72-hour annual allotment
•        The primary employer pain points and how to prepare for them

We will also hit the minimum wage law highlights in the original ballot proposal, including with the new 2023 $13.03 minimum wage (vs. $10.10 now) and the new tipped employee wage of $11.73 (vs. $3.84 now).

This webinar qualifies for one SHRM credit and one HRCI credit.
 
This webinar will be recorded and available for viewing within 24 hours of its conclusion.
