As you know, on November 5, 2024, Missouri voters approved Proposition A, providing changes to the state’s minimum wage and establishing a new earned paid sick time benefit for employees. Earned paid sick time benefits are effective May 1, 2025.
Written notice of the “earned paid sick time” policy must be provided to employees by April 15, 2025 on a single piece of 8.5 x 11 paper in no less than 14-point font and include the following information: (1) employees accrue paid sick time at the rate of 1 hour earned for every 30 hours worked (2) employers are prohibited from taking retaliatory action against employees who request or use paid sick leave (3) employees have a right to bring a civil action if paid sick leave is denied (4) the contact information for the Department.
You can access a notice template here. The earned paid sick time law also requires employers to post a poster in the workplace, available here.
The state’s earned paid sick time benefits page includes an FAQ, and states the following: “Please be advised that the information provided may be subject to change due to pending litigation.”
