How to Post Labor Posters in Michigan

Michigan Minimum Wage Laws require certain posters be placed in the workplace for all employers of more than two employees. The Federal Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 requires all employees to earn a wage equal to or greater than the Federal Minimum Wage, as of 2010 Michigan's minimum wage is higher than the federal minimum wage, meaning all employers must post Michigan Minimum Wage Law posters for their employees to view.
