SB 992 amends Michigan's Earned Sick Time Act to restore specific provisions that were previously repealed, ensuring that employers with 50 or more employees must provide paid medical leave for personal health needs, domestic violence, and sexual assault. The bill redefines key terms such as "eligible employee" and "employer" to clarify who qualifies for these benefits and outlines strict rules against retaliating against workers who request or use this time off. By reinstating sections related to accrual, usage, and enforcement while removing others, the legislation aims to maintain consistent protections for workers across the state. This change directly impacts large businesses and their staff, requiring them to adhere to the restored standards for granting sick leave.
