Missouri Workers Center and Missouri Jobs with Justice are disappointed in Missouri state lawmakers' eleventh-hour decision to buck the will of the people and overturn Missourians' earned paid sick days and annual minimum wage increase cost-of-living adjustments. Workers should continue to accrue and be able to use their earned paid sick days until August 28, 2025 and the minimum wage will still increase to $15 per hour on January 1, 2026.
Employees accrue one hour of earned paid sick time for every 30 hours worked. The hours don't need to be consecutive or worked in one week. Employers must track accrued hours.
