After a busy end to last week, Steve Palazzolo has released a new Law Shanty video breaking down key questions about Friday’s passage of House Bill 4002, which amends Michigan’s Earned Sick Time Act (ESTA). In this update, Steve provides a high-level overview of the most significant changes, clarifying which employers are covered under the new law and which are not. He also highlights the employee categories affected and explains how the amendments impact small and large businesses differently.

Steve dives into the nuances of front-loading versus accrual practices and what options employers have under the revised statute. He also outlines the required steps employers must take to notify employees about these changes and how the updates will directly affect their workforce.

Time is of the essence, and Steve, along with the rest of the Labor and Employment Practice Group, is quickly analyzing and adapting to these legal changes. We have a must-attend webinar “<a href="https://www.wnj.com/updates/key-updates-to-esta-and-iwowa-practical-takeaways-for-employers/">Key Updates to ESTA and IWOWA: Practical Takeaways for Employers</a>” on Wednesday, Feb. 26. In this webinar, DeAndre’ Harris, Joe Rockwell and Abigail Coté will break down the essential information you need to successfully implement these changes in your organization.

Warner’s Labor and Employment Practice Group has developed a modified ESTA policy template for a purchase price of $400.00 (or $200.00, for employers who have purchased a previous ESTA policy).
