State-wise Videos

This video covers Michigan’s Paid Medical Leave Act (PMLA), which applies to home care workers under certain employer size thresholds. It shows how caregivers can accrue paid sick and safe leave (up to 40 hours/year for eligible employees) and how agencies should track and manage these accruals.

Who we empower every day

Agency Owners - Create clear and PMLA-compliant paid leave policies.

• Supervisors - Keep an eye on leave balances & make sure accruals are taken into account when scheduling
• Care Managers - When caregivers take time off, modify coverage.
• Payroll/Billers - Monitor accruals & incorporate them into the payroll system
• Schedulers - Arrange for substitutes during paid leave.
• Caregivers – Understand eligibility and use of accrued leave
• On-Call Coordinators – Cover shifts while managing workforce leave

The PMLA requires certain employers in Michigan to provide paid sick/safe leave. Incorporating leave tracking into caregiver management software simplifies compliance and staff scheduling.
