The introduction of these bills is a step in the right direction, but our work isn’t done. We must continue advocating for changes that benefit Michigan’s businesses and workers.

The Context
The Michigan Supreme Court’s landmark decision to raise the minimum wage, eliminate the tip credit and expand paid leave has significantly reshaped the state’s labor laws. Employers across Michigan must now navigate these changes by reviewing and adjusting their policies and procedures to remain compliant.
As businesses prepare for increased labor costs and one of the most comprehensive paid sick leave laws in the nation, we are working closely with legislators to lessen the impact and support a smoother transition for all affected industries. It is crucial for members of the Michigan House and Senate to unite in passing practical, common-sense legislation that balances worker support with the financial health of businesses. This balance is essential for sustainable economic growth and continued employment opportunities.
