• Minimum Wage - The minimum wage notice has been revised. The hourly rate will remain at $7.40 per hour. The rate amount under the 85% of Minimum Hourly Wage Rate will change from $6.55 per hour to $7.25 per hour, effective July 24, 2009.
• Youth Employment Standards - The department name for the Michigan Department of Labor & Economic Growth has changed. It is now Michigan’s Department of Energy, Labor & Economic Growth.

Youth Employment Rules - Minimum Wage - July 2008

• Youth Employment Rules - A new Youth Employment Rules notice has been produced, containing a new web address for the Wage and Hour Division, as well as some other formatting changes.
• Minimum Wage - Michigan’s minimum wage is scheduled to increase to $7.40 per hour on July 1, 2008. Minors 16-17 years of age in Michigan may be paid 85% of this minimum wage, or $6.29 per hour. However, due to the increase in the Federal minimum wage, Michigan’s minimum wage rate for minors 16-17 years of age will now increase to $6.55 per hour, effective July 24, 2008. For such minors, “the state 85% rate of $6.29 is valid between July 1, 2008 and July 23, 2008”. Essentially, for these 23 days, employers may pay their minor employees the previously scheduled $6.29 per hour (which is 85% of $7.40 per hour), but on July 24, 2008 they must pay these employees the Federal minimum wage of $6.55 per hour.
