Logan's alley adds “illness vacation fee”. Is this beginning of the new trend?

Michigan's new deserved disease time law (ESTA) came into force, and companies across the state feel the effects. It is great news for employees who are now able to earn and use sick times if they had no access to this beforehand, but also means increasing prices for business owners in an already complicated economic period.

One of them includes the popular Grand Rapids Bar, Logan's alley, which now says that you have to increase your prices to remain legal in the eyes of this new law.

According to an explanation that you posted on your Facebook page at the beginning of this week, Logan's corresponds to the law in which companies with more than 10 employees have to introduce up to 72 hours of illness per year a small 1.15% . Fee for all checks.

Instead of calming the menu prices, the bar decides on transparency to the reason why they increase their prices by describing the new fee as the “Michigan Sick Leave fee”. Since Logan, who has 19 employees, flows into the “Large Business” category according to the law, it now has to offer sick leave for its employees, even though they are a small, local company.

In her explanation, Logan's alleys explained that although the costs fully support the costs for your employees (together with the recent minimum lacquer increases that the state sees), they forced to make adjustments.

And while the cost of living for everyone is increasing you can't work?

This can become a trend of companies in Michigan that find out how the financial effects of our state's new labor laws can be avoided. With the minimum wage of 15 US dollars by 2027 and the top wage, which will increase in the next few years, they are not shocked if more local restaurants can increase similar fees or increase their prices in order to meet the new law.

Although it is great that these employees can finally take a day off without losing their wages, as they earn very well, everything is at a price (especially for us as a consumer).
