On July 31, 2024, the Michigan Supreme Court reinstated Michigan’s original (2018) voter-initiated versions of the Improved Workforce Opportunity Wage Act (IWOWA) and the Earned Sick Time Act (ESTA). This reversion will take effect on February 21, 2025. The decision is significant for Michigan employers because it expands paid sick leave available to eligible employees and increases Michigan’s minimum wage rate to $12 per hour.
