Missouri RSMo 290.528 preempts local paid-leave and employment-benefit mandates. Voters approved statewide paid sick leave (Proposition A) in 2024, but the legislature repealed it effective August 28, 2025, so Missouri now has no statewide paid sick leave requirement.
RSMo 290.528 prohibits political subdivisions from requiring employers to provide employment benefits, including paid or unpaid sick leave and vacation, beyond state law, and preempts all such local ordinances. Proposition A, approved by voters in November 2024, created a statewide paid sick leave entitlement that took effect May 1, 2025, but the General Assembly repealed the paid-sick-leave provisions in HB 567, effective August 28, 2025; the Proposition A minimum wage increase remained. As of the repeal, Missouri mandates no paid sick leave, and localities cannot fill the gap. Public employers may set leave for their own staff, and private employers may voluntarily exceed any federal minimum.
Local paid-leave ordinances exceeding state law are preempted and unenforceable. Employers complying with state and federal law are shielded from additional municipal leave mandates and penalties.
