Michigan Earned Sick Time Act Rules
Michigan employers are required to provide paid sick leave to employees. Some key compliance requirements that employers should be aware of include:
- All employers that have one or more employee(s), including any person, firm, business, educational institutions, corporations, limited liability company, and government entities (excluding the US Government) in Michigan are covered by the ESTA and its requirements.
- Employees must be able to accrue one hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours worked.
- Employees cannot be required to search for or secure a replacement worker as a condition for using earned sick leave.
- Employees must receive their normal rate of pay for any paid leave time under this law, or the applicable minimum wage rate, whichever is greater.
- Employers may restrict use of leave to specific reasons outlined by the ETSA.
Employers must maintain a sick leave policy that aligns with ETSA, as well as manage accruals, eligibility tracking, and more. See how Workforce PayHub helps employers manage paid sick leave below, or watch this demo video for Michigan Earned Sick Time Act Management.

How We Tackle Michigan Earned Sick Time Management
Automatically Calculate Earned Sick Time
Employers can automatically calculate and track paid time off based on an employer’s specific rules and policies. This ensures Michigan employers are able to configure the ESTA-required accrual rate of one hour of leave for every 30 hours worked.
Set Different Accrual Limits Based on Employer Size
Employers can configure the system to align with the applicable annual usage limits outlined by the ESTA. While higher limits may be implemented, the ESTA requires employers to allow employees to use up to 40 hours per calendar year if they have 10 or fewer employees, and up to 72 hours if they have 11 or more employees.
Configure Eligibility & Waiting-Period Rules
Employers can set up custom eligibility rules and notifications that align with their policies. The ESTA requires employers to allow employees to take leave under this Act on the 120th day of employment. However, employers may choose to allow employees to begin taking leave sooner.
Automate Time-Off Requests & Approvals
Employers can set up automated workflows, notifications, and policy enforcement, helping reduce manual administration when employees request earned sick time.
Track Earned, Used, Scheduled & Remaining Sick Time
Gain visibility into time earned, taken, scheduled, and remaining, allowing HR and managers to get a current view of employee sick-time balances.
