UPDATE: Drug-Free and Alcohol-Free Workplace
We have revised the explanatory notes related to employers' consideration of state drug laws. We have also made stylistic changes for consistency.
UPDATE Michigan Paid Medical Leave
We have updated this policy to provide clarity on the waiting periods applicable in frontload and accrual constructs based on agency guidance.
NEW Missouri Earned Paid Sick Time
This new policy reflects the requirements of Missouri's new earned paid sick time law, which is scheduled to become effective on May 1, 2025. The enactment requires employers to provide earned paid sick time to employees. This policy is based on the law and current agency guidance. There is pending legislation to repeal the law as well as a pending court action challenging its legality. As such, employers may wish to delay implementation until closer to May 1, 2025, to ensure the law will still be going into effect and/or that no changes are needed. Further details including the model statutory notice can be found at the following link: Proposition A - Paid Sick Time Benefits - FAQs | Missouri Department of Labor and Industrial Relations.

A Missouri Paid Sick Leave policy is planned as soon as possible. We are awaiting developments with respect to possible challenges and repeals.
