Mission Statement

It is the mission of the Wage & Hour Division to provide public service through the fair, effective, and efficient administration of laws which protect the wages and fringe benefits of Michigan's workers and provide for the safe and legal employment of minors.

What we do . . .

The administration and enforcement of wage protection laws in Michigan (the Payment of Wages and Fringe Benefits Act, the Minimum Wage Act, the Youth Employment Standards Act, and the Prevailing Wages on State Projects Act) is the role of the Wage & Hour Division.

The division investigates complaints alleging non-payment of wages and fringe benefits, state minimum wage, overtime, equal pay, and prevailing wage disputes; and monitors youth employment standards including hours of work, and safe, non-hazardous working conditions. The Wage & Hour Division also educates employers and employees in the areas covered by these labor standards.
