Michigan’s minimum wage is rising by 20 cents an hour effective this Friday. The wage increase will go from $9.25 to $9.45 an hour. An employer may continue to pay minors, 16 and 17 years of age, 85% of the minimum hourly wage rate. That rate will increase from $7.86 to $8.03 per hour. But, there is no change to the training wage of $4.25 per hour. The next wage increase is set for Jan. 1 2020, with another on following in 2021.
