Thanks for sharing this info. Some of you may have Library Pages or student workers. If that is the case, minors 16-17 years of age may be paid 85% of the minimum hourly wage rate in Michigan. There is also a “training wage” for employees 16-19 years of age for the first 90 days of their employment. For 2018, that amount was $4.25 per hour, not sure how that will change as we head into 2019.

Hi Lisa,
Laws usually take 90 days to enact. The new wage of 9.45 will be in effect at the end of March 2019. From then on through 2030 the minimum wage will increase on January 1. Here is the schedule according to the Michigan chamber
· End of March, 2019: $9.45/hour
· 1/1/20: $9.65/hour
· 1/1/21: $9.87/hour
· 1/1/22: $10.10/hour
· 1/1/23: $10.33/hour
· 1/1/24: $10.56/hour
· 1/1/25: $10.80/hour
· 1/1/26: $11.04/hour
· 1/1/27: $11.29/hour
· 1/1/28: $11.54/hour

There are also a lot of caveats to the medical leave law including number of employees, number of hours worked and the number of weeks employed. The Bridge newspaper and the Michigan Chamber do a fair job of outlining these changes. Both of these may be subject to litigation.

I don’t know if everyone saw the email put out on Friday by the Governor’s office about the increase in minimum wage and I’m just the last one to see it, but just in case, I wanted to put this out there for those of you who might be as oblivious as I apparently am. I have attached it here.
There are also changes for those libraries employing 50+ staff members for sick leave.
