MI HB4002

Requires employers to provide paid earned sick time to employees, with workers accruing 1 hour of sick time for every 30 hours worked, up to 72 hours annually for most employees or 40 hours for small business employees (10 or fewer workers)

Allows earned sick time to be used for personal or family member illness, medical appointments, domestic violence or sexual assault-related needs, school meetings related to a child's health or disability, and public health emergencies

Small businesses have a delayed compliance deadline of October 1, 2025, and new small businesses established after February 21, 2022 have 3 years from their first hire to comply with the law

Prohibits employer retaliation against employees for using earned sick time, with civil fines up to $1,000 per violation for retaliatory actions and up to 8 times the employee's hourly wage for failing to provide required sick time

Employers may require up to 7 days advance notice for foreseeable sick time use and may request documentation for absences exceeding 3 consecutive days, but cannot require employees to find replacement workers as a condition of using sick time
