Michigan HB4168 prohibits employers from offsetting wages due employees based on gratuities received.

Michigan HB4168 amends the Michigan Labor law to prohibit employers from reducing wages due to employees based on the amount of gratuities they receive. Gratuities, defined as tips or voluntary monetary contributions from guests, patrons, or customers, remain the property of the employee. Employers must inform employees of their plan to distribute service charges and keep records of compliance. The bill also specifies minimum hourly wage rates for employees who receive gratuities, increasing incrementally from 38% to 50% of the minimum hourly wage over several years.
