Family Friendly Musicians
by Ashley Moran 25 Feb '25

25 Feb '25

Hi All! We are looking to book a musician for our 20th Anniversary Celebration, and wanted to put out feelers for those you've worked with and really liked. We'd like someone who is family friendly, but they don't necessarily have to be youth-oriented. We were planning to book David Rogers (who is amazing and has done Adult concerts for us in the past) to play Disney themed songs on the keyboard, but unfortunately he cannot do the day we need. We also had Rick Kelley play this past weekend and loved him, but wanted to hire someone new to draw in more patrons. It could be a one man band or multiple players, and they will be playing inside in our programming room. Songs people will recognize is a plus! Thanks for any ideas! We are looking for them to play on a Saturday in April. -- *Ashley Moran **(she, her)* Marketing and Programs Manager Dolly Parton's Imagination Library of Commerce Township Main Coordinator Commerce Township Community Library 248-669-8108 ext. 106 Currently Reading <https://www.goodreads.com/user/email_signature_destination/51322836?utm_med…> [image: Book Cover] <https://www.goodreads.com/user/email_signature_destination/51322836?utm_med…> [image: Goodreads Logo] <https://www.goodreads.com/?utm_medium=gr_logo&utm_source=email_signature>Get your own email signature <https://www.goodreads.com/user/email_signature_instructions?utm_medium=gyo_…> -- The information contained in this electronic message is intended only for the use of the designated recipient(s).

Michigan Compiled Laws Inquiry
by Alicia Ford 25 Feb '25

25 Feb '25

Hello all, With Michigan Compiled Laws being accessible and searchable on the Michigan Legislature website, has anyone held on to their physical sets in their reference sections? If you've weeded them, has anyone missed having them to browse in the last few years? I'm sure I know the answer, but thought I'd appeal to the collective wisdom of librarians on the listserv. Thanks, Alicia Ford, Assistant Director Coloma Public Library 151 W. Center St. P.O.

House Bill 4002<https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Flinks-1.govdelivery.com%2FC…>, amends the existing Earned Sick Time Act and will expand paid sick leave. Key Points for Earned Sick Time * Frontloading Paid Sick Time: As an alternative to the accrual method, employers can choose to frontload at least 72 hours of paid sick time for immediate use each year, or 40 for a small business, which eliminates the requirement for carryover or accrual tracking for full-time employees. * Frontloading Part-time Employees: As an alternative to the accrual method, employers may frontload paid sick time for part-time employees as well, with a prorated amount, subject to specific notice and true-up requirements. * Accrual Method: If choosing the accrual method, employees accrue 1 hour of paid sick time for every 30 hours worked, and unused paid sick time rolls over up to 72 hours. Employers may limit the use of earned sick time to 72 hours, or 40 for a small business, in the 12-month period. * New Hire Waiting Period: If using the accrual method, employers may have a policy for new employees hired on or after 2/21/25 requiring these employees to wait up to 120 days before using accrued sick time. Employees accrue earned sick time during this waiting period. If frontloading, hours are available for immediate use. * Small Business Compliance: Small business is defined as an employer having 10 or fewer employees. Small businesses have until October 1, 2025, to comply with ESTA requirements. * PTO Policy: Employers can use a combined paid time off (PTO) policy to meet ESTA requirements, as long as the total paid leave meets or exceeds the necessary amounts and may be used for the same purposes. * Hourly Rate: For ESTA purposes, an employee's hourly rate is their normal hourly wage or base rate and excludes overtime, holiday pay, bonuses, commissions, tips, etc. * Enforcement: The Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity (LEO) is responsible for enforcing ESTA. * Sick Time Increments: Employers may choose to use either one-hour increments or the smallest increment for tracking sick time usage. Key Points for Minimum Wage * Tipped minimum wage: Senate Bill 8<https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fwww.legislature.mi.gov%2FBi…> gradually increases the minimum cash wage for tipped employees from 38% of the full minimum wage to 50% of the regular minimum wage by 2031. * Wage changes: Tipped minimum wage is $4.74 for the rest of 2025. * Regular minimum wage: Senate Bill 8<https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fwww.legislature.mi.gov%2FBi…> keeps the minimum wage to $12.48 starting Feb. 21, reaching $15 by 2027, and adjusts for inflation after that.
