Michigan manufacturers face a crucial moment. In February 2025, Michigan employers will be subject to a costly, onerous and litigious paid leave mandate thanks to a Michigan Supreme Court decision that will reinstate the Earned Sick Time Act (ESTA) on all manufacturers, regardless of their size. ESTA imposes some of the most far-reaching and stringent paid time off provisions found in any state.
Absent MMA-driven changes made by the Legislature, employers will be subject to a costly paid leave mandate beginning February 2025 as a result.

The Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity (LEO) has been reviewing the decision rendered by the Michigan Supreme Court in Mothering Justice v. Attorney General (a.k.a. paid sick leave case). As a result of that decision, major changes have been made to the state’s earned sick time law.
