Michigan Gov. Whitmer Agrees to Limit Wages for Tipped Workers Amid Minimum Wage Hike

Michigan's minimum wage increased from $10.56 to $12.48 per hour on February 21, 2025, following a compromise between Governor Gretchen Whitmer and Republican legislators that limited sick leave and wages for tipped workers.
The agreement allows the minimum wage to rise to $15 per hour by 2027, while also modifying the sick leave law for small businesses, with implementation postponed until October 1.
One Fair Wage opposed the changes, stating the rollback of tipped wages and sick leave was detrimental, while Governor Whitmer praised the deal as bipartisan and beneficial for workers.
Republican Speaker of the House Matt Hall emphasized the urgency of finalizing the compromise covering the salary adjustments ordered by the court.
