sick-leave

House Bill 567 would entirely remove Proposition A’s sick leave provisions, which are set to go into effect May 1.

Missourians approved Proposition A, which raised the minimum wage and mandated paid sick leave, with 57% of the vote.

Business groups have challenged a Missouri constitutional amendment that increases the state’s minimum wage and gives more workers access to paid sick leave.

The president's call for mandatory paid sick days starred in his State of the Union address. But forget the big speech: It may be small businesses — and state lawmakers — that decide this debate.
