Major Changes in Missouri: Paid Sick Leave Repealed and New Laws Take Effect

In Missouri, a recent wave of legislative changes has led to the repeal of the voter-approved paid sick leave mandate, with the repeal officially taking effect. While many employers are facing the implications of this change, some local businesses, such as a Kansas City coffee shop, are choosing to maintain their paid sick leave policies regardless of the new law. Workers across the state are mobilizing, with plans to march on Labor Day to protest what they view as a stripping away of their rights. In addition to the repeal of sick leave, several other new laws, including reforms to temporary vehicle tags and sales tax procedures for car buyers, are now in effect. As these changes are implemented, both employers and employees are grappling with the repercussions of this legislative shift.
