LANSING - Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed two bipartisan bills on Friday one that raises the minimum wage the other expanding paid sick leave.  Senate Bill 8 incrementally increases the minimum wage, reaching $15 an hour by January 1, 2027. After 2027, the minimum wage will increase each year according to inflation. The bill will also support restaurant workers and other tipped employees by incrementally increasing the tipped wage credit to match neighboring states.  House Bill 4002 expands paid sick leave policies for Michigan workers.  The legislation requires larger businesses to provide a minimum of 72 hours of earned sick time to full-time employees. For small businesses with 10 or fewer employees, they would be required to provide 40 hours of earned sick time to full-time employees.
