Michigan SB0006 amends fair employment practices, enhancing employer requirements and penalties for violations.

Michigan SB0006 amends the Michigan Labor Act to strengthen fair employment practices. It prohibits employers from classifying employees as independent contractors, requiring them to provide wage information, and imposing penalties for non-compliance. Employers face fines and imprisonment for failing to pay wages and benefits, with penalties escalating based on the amount owed. The bill also establishes a wages and fringe benefits fund for collecting penalties and damages. Employers must provide written consent for wage deductions, except for specific exceptions.
