*** The Michigan law increasing the minimum wage becomes effective 90 days after the current legislative session ends. The legislature is scheduled to adjourn between December 20 and December 31, which would put the effective date between March 20 and April 1, 2019. At the time of this writing, the Michigan legislature was still in session so a firm date is not yet known. We will continue to monitor and report when an actual effective date is known.
