As a reminder to Missouri employers, The Paid Sick Leave law took effect on May 1, 2025, following the Missouri Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the November 2024 ballot measure.
Employers must have provided a written notice (8.5″ x 11″, 14-point font) to all current employees by April 15, 2025, and to new hires thereafter. A poster must also be displayed in a visible location at each Missouri worksite.
Strengthens child labor laws by transferring the work permit authorization system for minors from schools to the Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity (LEO). This bill streamlines this process and takes the administrative burden off from schools, ensuring minors are properly accounted for when they enter the workforce. By creating an online service system for minors seeking employment and employers, parents will be able to see a public record of a given business’ record. This will hold employers accountable, protecting our kids from abusive businesses.
