In the newest episode of Podcast 83, MAC discusses the Legislature's work on sick time and minimum wage requirements.

The House passed House Bills 4001-02, which amend the Earned Sick Time Act and the minimum wage law, last week and have been referred to the Senate Committee on Regulatory Affairs.

The Senate passed Senate Bill 8 last week, which amends the Minimum Wage Law, and was referred to the House Committee on Protecting Michigan Employees and Small Businesses. However, the Senate did not vote on Senate Bill 15, which amends the Earned Sick Time Act.

Deena Bosworth explained, "What really affects counties is the Earned Sick Time Act ... nobody knows how to implement this yet. They don't know what those numbers are going to be."
