• Michigan State Law Earned Sick Time Act

The state of Michigan’s Earned Sick Time Act (ESTA) requires employers to offer paid sick time to eligible employees as of February 21, 2025. For most faculty and staff, the university’s existing paid time off policies comply with or exceed the requirements. But for temporary and part-time regular staff who do not have access to short-term sick time, vacation or PTO, ESTA will provide paid time off for medical absence from work.
