The paid sick leave law in Missouri is in effect, and updates to the guidance have been released to clarify and help employers comply.
In the FAQ, it states that employees are entitled to up to 80 hours of earned paid sick time that rolls to the following 12-month period. However, if an employer chooses to pay out the unused earned paid sick time, the rollover requirement does not apply.
Additionally, it clarifies that only hours worked in Missouri apply to accruing earned paid sick time.
