Sick time accrual changes coming to Michigan workers

How Michigan workers earn sick time on the job will change in the next few months.

A new law would allow workers to earn one hour of sick time for every 30 hours worked.

Companies employing 10 or more employees must provide at least 72 hours of paid sick time each year.

Smaller companies must only offer 40 hours of paid sick leave annually.

The other 32 hours would come as unpaid sick leave.

The new policies are taking place because of a court ruling that returned a 2018 law to its original form.
