Resources to Stay Current on New Sick Time and Minimum Wage Laws

Public Acts 1 and 2 of 2025, took effect February 21 to stop the 2018 Earned Sick Time Act and Improved Workforce Opportunity Wage Act from taking effect as written. The new laws change the sick time and wage acts for the better; the changes impact skilled nursing facilities and assisted living communities.

Webinar Recording: HCAM hosted a webinar to explain what the changes mean to you. Labor and employment law expert Grant Pecor walked through the key requirements and practical strategies needed to keep facilities in compliance. A recording of that webinar is now available.

Posters: The new laws include a requirement that employers display a poster describing the major provisions of each law. You can download the posters in English, Arabic and Spanish from the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity: Earned Sick Time Act; Minimum Wage Act.
