Call to Action: Tell your Representative to oppose the Employment Uncertainty Act
Bills currently under consideration in the House and Senate would allow Michigan’s 1800+ local units of government to enact their own regulations governing minimum wage, sick leave, and other labor requirements.
Current law sets policy at the state level and provides a consistent regulatory environment across the state for governing employers’ relationships with their employees. This legislation would create a patchwork of complicated laws and regulations for small business owners dependent on where they happen to do business.
Small businesses benefit greatly from regulatory certainty and consistency, and this bill would introduce a substantial hurdle to those seeking to do business in the state of Michigan.
For small business owners, who seldom have the time or resources to closely track the ever-changing whims of local officials, this bill would destabilize and complicate the environment in which they do business.
For owners operating multiple locations in different municipalities, this bill would require them to remain complaint with a patchwork of different, sometimes overlapping, regulations.
It is unclear how this proposed legislation would apply to those who work remotely or split time between locations in different municipalities.
We have put together a Call to Action so you can tell your Representative to keep Michigan’s law the same, and to prevent local officials from deciding how you do business.
