The date has arrived! As of February 21, 2025, the Earned Sick Time Act (ESTA) is now in effect. The Manistee Area Chamber of Commerce is here to help you navigate the new regulations and ensure your business remains compliant.
This page provides essential information, resources, and tools to help you understand your responsibilities under the law. We’re committed to supporting our local businesses through these changes, so you can continue to focus on what matters most—growing and succeeding in our community.
