MI Time to Care

MI Time to Care Fighting to ensure all working people in Michigan have access to earned paid sick time.

Taking time to ensure that we’re healthy and our families are healthy should not require putting our economic well being in jeopardy. After attempting to pass a paid sick days law legislatively to no avail, the Time to Care Coalition has launched an earned sick days ballot campaign to guarantee that all working people in Michigan have access to earned sick leave. The Earned Sick Time Act is a bill

to provide workers with the right to earn sick time for personal or family health needs, as well as purposes related to domestic violence and sexual assault and school meetings needed as the result of a child’s disability, health, or issues due to domestic violence and sexual assault; to specify the conditions for accruing and using earned sick time; to prohibit retaliation against an employee for requesting, exercising, or enforcing rights granted in this act; to prescribe powers and duties of certain state departments, agencies, and officers; to provide for promulgation of rules; and to provide remedies and sanctions. The proposal would allow people to earn one hour of sick time for every 30 hours worked. Workers could earn up to nine days of paid sick time, depending on the size of the business.

A Court of Claims judge declared GOP-backed laws that altered and kept off the ballot two voter-initiated proposals "voided."
