Make Compliance Easy

Missouri’s new law changes how sick leave is earned, tracked, used, and communicated to employees. Our kit ensures you’re covered—without the guesswork.

Simple. Fast. Reliable.

Why This Law Is So Tricky

The Proposition A requirements aren’t just about giving sick leave. They come with rules on accrual vs. frontloading, tracking, rollover, annual caps, documentation, and which employees are covered, here’s a hint, they all are. The law also mandates that you notify employees—by a specific deadline—about their rights and benefits under this new policy.

What happens if you miss a step? You could open your business up to complaints, penalties, or even legal claims. And unlike federal laws that only apply to employers with 15+ employees, Proposition A applies to almost everyone in Missouri.

Trying to patch this together using a generic policy template or outdated advice? That’s a fast track to stress and mistakes.
