EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK
Effective January 1, 2026 · Issued by Maple Manufacturing, LLC · (Reviewed and updated annually)
Section 2 · About This Handbook
Employment At Will; Not a Contract
Employment with the Company is at will. This means that either you or the Company may end the employment relationship at any time, for any lawful reason or no reason, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Nothing in this handbook, and no oral or written statement by any supervisor or manager, changes the at-will nature of employment.
Section 8 · Leaves of Absence and Time Off
Michigan Earned Sick Time
Under the Michigan Earned Sick Time Act (ESTA), you accrue 1 hour of paid earned sick time for every 30 hours worked, beginning on your first day of employment. You may use up to 72 hours per benefit year, and unused accrued time carries over to the next benefit year up to 72 hours. Documentation may be requested only for absences of more than 3 consecutive scheduled workdays — and a doctor's note that an absence was health-related is enough; we will never require details of a diagnosis.
Section 3 · Employment, Equal Opportunity, and Respect
Equal Employment Opportunity
We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex (including pregnancy, childbirth, and related conditions), sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age (all ages are protected under Michigan law, not just 40 and over), height, weight, marital status, familial status, disability, genetic information, military or veteran status, misdemeanor arrest record not resulting in conviction, or any other characteristic protected by federal, state, or local law.
Michigan's Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act protects several characteristics that federal law does not — including height, weight, marital status, and age at any age — and it applies from an employer's very first employee. This policy applies the broader Michigan standard.

How it works
- 1
Tell us about your business
Size, locations, and the benefits you offer — a few quick questions.
- 2
We assemble the required policies
Michigan and federal policies, section by section, so nothing required is missing.
- 3
Review, brand, and download
Make it yours, then distribute to your team — ready to sign.
- 4
Stay current automatically
When a Michigan or federal law changes, we flag exactly what to update.
The handbook itself carries no fixed fine — but the policies it's supposed to contain do. Skip your ESTA or anti-discrimination language and you're exposed to those laws' penalties directly.
