US EditionMichigan lawmakers approve last-minute compromise ahead of sick leave, tipped wage changes
- The Michigan Legislature approved changes to paid sick leave and tipped wage requirements shortly before a midnight deadline, as lawmakers sought to finalize the bill for Governor Gretchen Whitmer to sign.
- The compromise scales back the increase in the minimum wage for tipped workers, keeping it at the lower rate while ensuring most businesses offer paid sick time.
- The Democratic-controlled Michigan Senate voted 26-10 to approve the sick time legislation, which had support from both parties in the final deal.
- Opponents of the bill, like Saru Jayaraman, criticized lawmakers for rolling back wage increases that the Michigan Supreme Court ordered to take effect.
