Compliance Watch Q1 2025

We just sent out the latest edition of Compliance Watch—Legion’s quarterly bulletin about key changes in compliance rules. It includes information and resource links to help you monitor new employment laws and make managing and maintaining compliance easier.

This edition covers recent and planned minimum wage and employee leave laws.

Minimum Wage

Minimum wage adjustments typically take effect in January, March, July, and December. See which states and major cities have upcoming minimum wage changes. Download the latest edition of Compliance Watch for the complete list here.

How Can Legion Help with Minimum Wage Changes

Legion Workforce Management (WFM) allows employers to load a minimum wage for cities and states. Legion WFM uses that wage to help managers comply with local laws by only giving employees shift offers for locations where their pay rate is greater than the minimum wage. Additionally, when managers manually add shifts for employees at other locations, Legion WFM automatically flags shifts when there may be a pay rate violation based on the minimum wage.

Employee Leave Laws

Effective February 11, 2025, employers of any size in Michigan must provide their employees with sick leave. The law states that sick leave can be used for the employee’s own illness or for other reasons.

How Can Legion Help?

With the Legion Time-Off Management module, employers can easily configure accrual distribution methods and amounts in Legion’s WFM Control Center, ensuring full control over how time off is earned and allocated. The highly flexible accrual rules can be customized at the employee group level for specific time-off reasons, allowing organizations to tailor time-off policies to suit the unique needs of their workforce.
