Michigan HB4433 protects emergency responders from adverse employment actions for responding to emergencies.

Michigan HB4433, known as the "emergency responder employment protection act," prohibits employers from discriminating against, disciplining, or discharging employees who are emergency responders and are absent from work to respond to an emergency. This protection applies if the employee provides notice of the absence before the start of their shift and submits a written statement of the emergency need within 72 hours after the emergency.
