Michigan's Mothering Justice ruling (July 2024) restored the voter-approved minimum wage path, lifting Wayne County's floor from $10.33 to $12.48 in February 2026 with phased increases reaching about $15 by 2028. Local minimum wage preemption (MCL §408.934) blocks cities from setting higher floors.
Michigan's Earned Sick Time Act (MCL §408.961+) took effect February 2025 after the Mothering Justice ruling, requiring Wayne County employers to provide one hour of paid sick leave per 30 hours worked. Small employers under 11 workers face a 30-hour annual cap; larger employers must provide 72 hours.
