LANSING, MI (MPRN)-- State lawmakers are planning changes to laws they just passed a couple of months ago.
The Legislature wants to make changes to the new law that requires employers to offer earned sick time.
Representative Stephanie Chang is a Democrat. She’s concerned about a new bill that would get rid of parts of the earned sick time law. It helps employees who sue their employer for retaliation for using their sick time.
“I think that it really dilutes a lot of what some of the protections need to be for workers in Michigan,” she says.
There’s also a bill to bring back a lower minimum amount that employers have to pay tipped workers.
Opponents say if the Legislature didn’t like the laws, they should have let the people vote on them.
