According to the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity, the minimum wage in Michigan is set to increase on January 1, 2024, from $10.10 to $10.33 per hour. However, as of January 1, 2023, the minimum hourly wage is $10.10 per hour, and the 85% rate for minors aged 16 and 17 is $8.59 per hour. It is important to note that in 2018, a petition initiative organized by One Fair Wage sought to raise Michigans minimum wage to $12 an hour by 2022 and eliminate the tipped minimum wage "tip-credit" in Michigan by 2024. However, the legislature adopted the legislation and then amended it in 2018, putting in lower wage thresholds that increased the minimum wage to $12.05 by 2030 instead of 2022 and kept the tipped minimum wage at 38% of the standard one. As a result, the states current hourly minimum wage is $9.87 and $3.75 for workers who are expected to make up the difference in tips.
