Bill overview
This bill protects employees in Michigan from being fired or treated unfairly for reporting workplace safety concerns or hazards related to communicable diseases. It prohibits employers from taking adverse actions against employees who share information about safety practices, hazards, or diseases with various parties, including government agencies and the public. The bill also safeguards employees who use their own personal protective equipment if it offers greater protection than what the employer provides. Finally, it establishes a presumption of violation if an employer takes adverse action within 90 days of an employee’s protected disclosure.
