Abstract
(HB6057 · 103rd Legislature) Labor: working conditions; suitable seats; require employers to provide to employees under certain circumstances. Creates new act. Latest action (2026-06-10): Bill Electronically Reproduced 06/09/2026
Why this matters
A suitable-seats requirement would impose a new physical-accommodation obligation on Michigan employers, affecting workplaces (particularly retail, service, and manufacturing) where employees currently stand throughout shifts. If enacted, it would join a small but growing set of state-level ergonomic and working-conditions standards, with direct compliance costs for employers and potential health benefits for workers.
