Michigan HB4453, known as the "employee privacy protection act," prohibits employers from making employment decisions based on lawful activities performed by employees during nonworking hours. Employers cannot discharge, refuse to hire, or discriminate against employees for such activities unless they directly impair occupational requirements or conflict with the employer's mission. The act also prohibits retaliation against employees who participate in investigations or oppose violations of the act. Injured employees can seek injunctive relief, damages, and attorney fees.
