Governor Snyder signed the new minimum wage law on 12/14/2018 with the increase from $9.25 to $9.45 beginning 3/29/2019.  This was the first of several wage increases that will be implemented over the next 10 years. Effective Winter 2020, students will automatically have their wages adjusted again to reflect the increase to $9.65 that will be implemented January 1, 2020. Any new hire that is reported starting 01/01/2020 or after will need to be hired with the new wage chart in mind, and the Report a Hire form has been updated to reflect this. 

The Budget Office will make the necessary internal adjustments to ensure that any general fund student wage budgets will be increased to reflect the new minimums and the updated student pay rate scale.  There will not be any reduction in student employment numbers or hours worked as a result of minimum wage changes. 

Effective Winter 2021, students will automatically have their wages adjusted again to reflect the $0.22 increase to $9.87 that will be implemented on January 1, 2021.
