Bill > HB1414

This bill amends Missouri's earned paid sick time law by creating a new exemption for employees working on vessels documented by the United States under 46 U.S.C. Section 12105. Specifically, the bill adds a new category of exempted employees to the existing list of workers who are not covered by the earned paid sick time requirements. The modification is a narrow expansion of the current law's exclusions, which already include various categories of workers such as those employed by educational or charitable organizations, individuals working in certain government positions, employees of small retail businesses, and incarcerated individuals. The bill does not fundamentally change the existing definitions or broader framework of earned paid sick time but simply adds maritime vessel workers to the list of exempt employees. This exemption means that employees working on US-documented vessels would not be entitled to the earned paid sick time benefits outlined in the Missouri law, similar to how other specified categories of workers are currently excluded from these provisions.
