Missouri has enacted legislation (House Bill 567), which repeals the Missouri paid sick leave law and removes the minimum wage requirements that were set to take effect. House Bill 567 is effective Aug. 28, 2025.

The Details

Background

By way of background, Missouri voters had approved a ballot initiative, Proposition A, which took effect on May 1, 2025, and required:

  • All employers to provide paid sick leave to employees; and
  • The state’s minimum wage to increase in phases.


House Bill 567

House Bill 567 eliminates the paid sick leave requirements in Proposition A beginning
August 28, 2025, and only retains the following minimum wage increases:

  • Jan.  1, 2025: $13.75 per hour
  • Jan.  1, 2026: $15.00 per hour

Note: Employers must continue to meet all of the paid sick leave requirements through Aug. 27, 2025.

Next Steps

Review and update sick leave policies and procedures. Employers that are leaning toward removing paid sick leave as a benefit should consider conferring with legal counsel.
