MAC Memo on Public Act 238 of 2020

In a Nutshell… Public Act 238 of 2020:

• Prohibits an employee who tests positive for COVID-19 or displays the principal symptoms of COVID-19 from reporting to work until certain conditions are met.
• Prohibits an employee who has close contact with an individual who tests positive for COVID-19 or with an individual who displays the principal symptoms of COVID-19 from reporting to work until certain conditions are met.
• Prohibits an employer from discharging, disciplining, or otherwise retaliating against an employee who complies with the return to work conditions prescribed under the bill, opposes a violation of the bill, or reports health violations related to COVID-19.
• Allows an employee aggrieved by a violation of the bill to bring a civil action for appropriate injunctive relief or damages and to award to a plaintiff who prevails in an action brought under the bill damages of at least $5,000.

County Orders

Under MCL 333.2453, “If a local health officer determines that control of an epidemic is necessary to protect the public health, the local health officer may issue an emergency order to prohibit the gathering of people for any purpose and may establish procedures to be followed by persons, including a local governmental entity, during the epidemic to insure continuation of essential public health services and enforcement of health laws.”

After the MSC decision invalidating Governor Whitmer’s executive orders was announced, several Michigan counties issued local emergency orders regarding coronavirus safety measures, including Oakland County, Ingham County, Wayne County, the City of Detroit, Washtenaw County, and St. Clair County (advisory, not a mandate).

We expect that this list is not all-inclusive, and other county, city, and/or other local orders may be forthcoming. Be sure to check with your local health department(s) to see if they have issued any emergency orders in the wake of the recent MSC decision.
