Labor: benefits; certain types of accrued leave; require an employer to pay to an employee when employment is terminated. Amends secs. 1 & 5 of 1978 PA 390 (MCL 408.471 & 408.475).

This bill requires employers in Michigan to pay employees their accrued paid vacation leave when employment ends, with specific exceptions for furloughs or unlimited leave policies. It also mandates that wages earned during crop harvesting be paid within three days of voluntary termination, while other wages must be paid as soon as they can be accurately calculated. The legislation applies to all types of employers, including private companies, government agencies, and educational institutions, and defines key terms like "fringe benefits" and "furlough" to clarify the law's scope. These changes take effect on January 1, 2025, aiming to ensure timely compensation for workers leaving their jobs.
