The start of the year means more money for Michigan’s lowest paid workers. The minimum wage has gone from $8.50 to $8.90 an hour, effective January 1. The wage will go up again on January 1, 2018 to $9.25, with future increases tied to the rate of inflation.
Tipped workers are also getting a small bump in pay. Their base pay rate has gone from $3.23 to $3.38, and will go up again at the start of next year to $3.52.
