HR Compliance in Michigan

Employment law in Michigan has recently shifted with expanded sick-time rules and a staged minimum-wage schedule that required updates in 2025 and 2026. The Earned Sick Time Act changes effective February 21, 2025 forced revisions to PTO accrual mechanics and employee communications across many employers. Michigan’s phased minimum wage increases require disciplined annual payroll updates and careful tipped-wage math to preserve tip credits. Employers should follow guidance from the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity to operationalize these changes correctly. Common failures include outdated accrual rules, missed January 1 wage-rate updates, and HRIS logic that doesn’t reflect business-size distinctions.
