Frequently Asked Questions
-
What labor law and minimum wage rules apply in Michigan for 2026?
Michigan’s minimum wage is set to rise from $12.48 to $13.73 per hour on January 1, 2026. Tipped employees must receive a cash wage of $5.49 plus tips to equal at least the full minimum wage. Michigan also requires paid sick time under the Paid Medical Leave Act (for employers with 50 or more employees) and compliance with the Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration (MIOSHA). Federal laws still apply under Michigan labor laws 2026. Employers should put up a Michigan minimum wage poster at work so employees know their rights and the current wage.
-
How often must the Michigan labor law posters be updated, and who monitors those updates?
The Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity (LEO) updates posters when wage rates or law changes occur. Because the minimum wage changes on January 1, 2026, employers must replace their Michigan labor law poster at that time. Federal posters should also be updated as needed. Our service monitors these changes and sends updated posters automatically.

Can notices be displayed electronically instead of physically in Michigan in 2026?
Physical posting is required at each worksite. Electronic posters can supplement physical copies for remote employees, but cannot replace them.

Do Michigan employers need to include both state and federal labor law notices?
Yes. Employers must post Michigan‑specific notices (minimum wage, paid medical leave, unemployment insurance, safety) along with federal posters. Our all‑in‑one poster covers both.
-
What are the penalties in 2026 for not posting or updating Michigan labor law posters?
In 2026, Michigan penalties range up to $100 per violation, while federal penalties can reach over $26,000 per violation, depending on the poster and circumstances.
