The Michigan Paid Medical Leave Act (MPMLA) requires employers with 50 or more employees to provide paid sick leave for employees. The MPMLA applies only to employees for whom the employer must withhold federal income taxes. If you’re an independent contractor or work for an employer with fewer than 50 employees, the MPMLA doesn’t apply.

You may take leave under the MPMLA for yourself or a family member for physical or mental illness or injury. MPMLA can also be used for relocation, social and legal services, and attending court proceedings related to domestic violence.
