Michigan overtime rules
Michigan follows the FLSA structure:
- 1.5× the regular rate for hours over 40 in a workweek.
- No daily overtime — a 12-hour shift is straight time.
- No double time requirement.
- Minimum wage: $10.33/hour in 2026, with scheduled annual increases that have been the subject of repeated legislative change — verify the current figure before running payroll.
Michigan's Improved Workforce Opportunity Wage Act sets the state rate, and litigation over the tipped-employee credit has caused the figure to move more than once since 2018. That uncertainty is the main compliance risk for Michigan hospitality employers.
Michigan minimum wage in 2026
Michigan's minimum wage is $13.73/hour in 2026, rising to $15.00/hour on 1 January 2027 — a $1.27 jump set in state law rather than by an inflation formula, and the largest dollar increase of any state this year. The lower $4.74 training rate was eliminated. Once at $15.00, Michigan moves to annual inflation-indexed adjustments, so later increases will be much smaller. Overtime is calculated on the regular rate, so a minimum-wage worker's time-and-a-half rate rises from $20.60 to $22.50 in 2027.
