Michigan preempts local paid leave ordinances; statewide paid sick leave is governed by the Earned Sick Time Act under MCL 408.961.
Under MCL 123.1388, Michigan local governments cannot require employers to provide paid or unpaid leave benefits beyond what state law mandates. The Earned Sick Time Act (ESTA), restored by the Michigan Supreme Court in Mothering Justice v. Attorney General (2024), provides paid sick leave to most employees as of February 21, 2025. ESTA replaced the narrower Paid Medical Leave Act. Cities cannot create separate paid leave mandates; ESTA defines accrual rates, usage rules, and covered employers statewide.
Local leave ordinances are preempted; ESTA violations carry damages, civil fines, and reinstatement remedies.
