Michigan Minimum Wage Raise
As of Friday, March 29, 2019, the minimum wage in the state of Michigan will be raised from $9.25/hour to $9.45/hour. Overtime requirements remain the same as non-exempt employees should be paid 1.5 times their regular rate of pay for hours worked over 40 in a 7-day work week.
An employer may continue to pay minors 16 to 17 years of age 85% of the minimum hourly wage rate. On March 29, 2019, that rate will increase from $7.86 to $8.03 per hour. There is no change to the training wage of $4.25 per hour that may be paid to newly hired employees, 16 to 19 years of age, for the first 90 days of their employment.
