Michigan Court Ruling Casts Doubt on Paid Sick Leave Exclusion for Temporary Employees

Published July 21, 2022 ■ Legal Watch

A Michigan judge has struck down, on procedural grounds, a 2019 law enacted by the state legislature that excluded temporary employees from the law’s new paid sick leave requirement—exclusion ASA worked hard to clarify. The court’s ruling reinstates a version of the law, based on a voter initiative, that did not include such an exclusion.

The ruling casts doubt on whether the blanket temporary employee exclusion will survive. Fortunately, however, the original paid sick leave voter initiative—like most state paid sick leave laws—does include a 90-day waiting period before accrued sick leave can be used. Thus, if the court’s ruling is upheld, staffing agencies operating in Michigan would have to provide paid sick leave, but only after an employee has worked at least 90 calendar days.

Commentators and business groups say an appeal of the ruling is likely, but it is unclear what businesses’ compliance obligations are in the meantime. ASA will keep members operating in Michigan apprised of developments as they unfold.
