Michigan Overtime Rules
Michigan pays overtime weekly — 1.5× your regular rate after 40 hours — under its Improved Workforce Opportunity Wage Act, which mirrors the federal FLSA. There is no state daily overtime.
- 1.5× pay for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek.
- No daily overtime or double time under Michigan law.
- Michigan's minimum wage has been rising on a set schedule after recent state court rulings; overtime is paid on your actual rate.
Michigan's overtime tracks the weekly 40-hour standard, so only hours over 40 count. The Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity handles state wage-and-hour questions.
The Michigan minimum wage is $12.48/hour (tipped minimum $4.74). Overtime is calculated on your actual hourly rate, not the minimum. See the full 2026 minimum wage table or compare states side by side.
