Michigan Modifies Pay Frequency Requirements for Monthly Paid Employees

An employer who has established a regularly scheduled weekly or biweekly payday is in compliance … if both of the following conditions are met: (a) Wages are paid to the employee on the established regularly recurring payday. (b) The payday occurs on or before the fourteenth day following the end of the work period in which the wages are earned.

For employees’ overtime earnings earned during the month of December that would, in compliance with this section, be paid to the employees after the sixteenth of December, an employer is in compliance with this section if both of the following conditions are met: (a) Employees receive all their wages, except overtime, for the month of December on or before the employees’ regularly scheduled payday. (b) All overtime wages earned during the month of December are paid on or before the next regularly scheduled payday following the payday in which the overtime would otherwise be paid.

It is important to note that H5235 provides that an “employer may pay wages more often than required by this section.”
