JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - Just nine months after Missouri voters approved a ballot measure to expand paid sick leave benefits, the law will officially be repealed Thursday when a bill signed by Gov. Mike Kehoe takes effect.

Starting on Aug. 28, 2025, employers in Missouri will no longer be required to offer paid sick leave. House Bill 567 repeals several provisions related to paid sick leave through Proposition A, backed by 57.5% of state voters last fall.

When Missouri's current paid sick leave law through Proposition A took effect on May 1, it required private employers to provide one hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours worked and allowed employees to use the accrued leave for qualifying reasons.

These obligations end when the repeal takes effect on August 28.
