Missouri Paid Sick Leave Starting Soon

On Nov. 5, 2024, voters in Missouri passed Proposition A, a ballot initiative requiring all private employers to provide employees with earned paid sick time (EPST). Effective May 1, 2025, all employees must accrue at least one hour of EPST for every 30 hours worked. Up to 80 hours of unused EPST may be carried over into the following year. The law requires that employees be allowed to use the leave for the employee and their family members’ mental or physical illness, for preventive care, and for safe leave purposes when the employee or their family member is the victim of domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking.
