The state of Missouri requires employers to provide paid sick leave and has further updated its guidance to clarify the paid sick leave law and help employers comply with the requirements.

Missouri voters have approved a ballot initiative, Proposition A, which requires all employers to provide paid sick leave to employees. Proposition A will take effect on May 1, 2025.

Missouri has enacted legislation (House Bill 432) that requires employers with 20 or more employees to provide unpaid leave and reasonable safety accommodations to employees who are victims of domestic violence. House Bill 432 is effective immediately.
