Overtime rules in Michigan
1.5× after 40 hours in a workweek. No daily overtime.
Michigan applies the 40-hour weekly overtime rule to employers with 2+ employees.
Because Michigan has no daily-overtime rule, only your weekly total matters: hours over 40 in the workweek are paid at 1.5×. A handful of states (California, Alaska, Colorado, Nevada) add daily overtime on top of this — Michigan is not one of them.
Michigan overtime pay example
Overtime pay = overtime hours × hourly rate × 1.5
At the Michigan minimum wage of $13.73, an overtime
hour is worth $20.59. A 45-hour week =
40 regular ($549.20) + 5 overtime (5 × $13.73 × 1.5 = $102.97) = $652.18 gross. Earn more than minimum
wage? Put your own rate into the calculator above.
