The Michigan Sick Leave Law, enacted in 2025, mandates that employers provide paid sick leave to eligible employees. This law ensures that workers can take time off to care for their own health or the health of a family member without facing financial hardship.
The law’s paid sick leave provisions are particularly crucial for low-wage workers, who are more likely to experience financial instability and have limited access to paid time off. Studies have shown that paid sick leave can improve employee health and well-being, reduce absenteeism, and boost productivity.
