Earned Sick Time Act Compliance Hub

The Earned Sick Time Act is now in effect, requiring ALL Michigan small businesses with one or more employees to comply with the new regulations. To support you in this transition, SBAM has curated a suite of tools designed to help you navigate and comply with ESTA. Businesses with 1-10 employees must be compliant by October 1, 2025; all other businesses must be in compliance now.

Our New Tools Include:

Comprehensive Checklist, Templates & Resources: Step-by-step guides to ensure you meet all ESTA requirements including ready-to-use templates for leave policies, forms, and more.
Webinars: Interactive sessions led by experts to walk you through compliance strategies and answer your questions.
Personalized Support: Access to SBAM’s Ask an Expert service for one-on-one assistance and guidance.

Stay ahead of the curve and ensure your business is compliant with ESTA. Explore our resources and register for our webinars today!
