Butzel labor and employment attorneys Brett Miller and Blake Padget will discuss the “Michigan Earned Sick Time Act (ESTA) Legislative Updates,” during a free webinar on Wednesday, March 5, 2025. The program will be moderated by Marsh McLennan Agency’s Director of Research Sue Mathiesen. While these amendments address many of the concerns raised by employers, the changes leave many questions unanswered which will be addressed during the webinar.
