How Updates to the Earned Sick Time Act (ESTA) and the Improved Workforce Opportunity Wage Act (IWOWA) Affect Your Business

Join the Baraga County EDC and Chamber of Commerce for an important webinar on this important topic.

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.

Attorney Brian Sheridan and his paralegal, Peter Sikorsky, of Steward & Sheridan, will present on how the changes will impact businesses in our community.

The webinar will be available to watch at the Baraga County Chamber of Commerce. Registration is still required for attendees choosing this option.
