Brunch & Learn
Description
Free Brunch & Learn Sponsored by McHaughton & Gunn
On September 5, 2018, the Michigan legislature adopted the “Michigan Earned Sick Time” proposal. This measure was widely accepted as a preemptive maneuver to avoid the initiative reaching the ballot for the November general election. As anticipated, the Act was further legislated to alter and scale back significant provisions contained under the law. The now entitled “Michigan Paid Medical Leave Act” (PMLA) was approved on December 14, 2018 by then - Governor Rick Snyder and will become effective March 29, 2019.
