Surprise! Michigan’s Paid Sick Time Off Law is Changing!
Does your work place offer PTO?
You know what PTO is, don't you?

It's paid time off. And we know that PTO can be used for several thing such as bereavement, personal holidays, maternity leave, and sick leave.
Michigan has had a PTO law on the books for quite some time stating:
Our sister station The Block 102.5 wrote that In 2018, a Republican-led House in Michigan passed initial language that the Supreme Court said had to be adopted by Feb 21st, 2025.
It's complicated because the Michigan Supreme Court voted that the 2018 Legislature lacked the authority to adopt language from a petition initiative at that time, and then immediately amend the law to reduce the amount of paid sick leave workers could earn because they were installed unconstitutionally.
Are you with me? Confusing, right?
THERE ARE TWO SIDES TO THE ISSUE!
Business owners want exemptions restored for businesses with fewer that 50 employees, in addition to not allowing employees to take legal action for interfering with the use of sick time.
On the other side of the issue, labor unions and others are in favor of the original law. One side wants to clearly define the status of businesses and how much leave they should be giving their employees while the other side wants to give a little more power to the employer and how they award, and honor paid sick time The Block 102.5 reported.
So what happens now?
Since the 102nd Legislature never did come to a decision, the new 103nd is frantically forming bills on the issue.
The Supreme Court is waiting!
