Overtime in Michigan

In Michigan, overtime pay is governed by Mich. Comp. Laws § 408.934a, which establishes a specific threshold for when overtime compensation is required. The law provides that an employee must receive additional pay for hours worked beyond a certain limit in a workweek. The statute sets out the applicable rate and formula for calculating this overtime. A verified figure of $300.00 appears in the calculation example below. The official source at the Michigan Legislature website contains the exact details of the rule, including any exceptions or factors that may apply. Readers can use the DocketMath calculator to estimate their own overtime entitlement based on their specific circumstances.

Wage calculation example

For a Michigan wage or overtime example, use only values backed by the verified rule packet. The verified packet cites Mich. Comp. Laws § 408.934a (https://www.legislature.mi.gov/(S())/mileg.aspx?page=getObject&objectName=mcl-408-934a).

Example inputs:

• Hourly rate: $20
• Hours at issue: 10
• Applied multiplier: 1.5x

Calculation:

• Multiply the hourly rate by the hours at issue.
• Apply the verified multiplier when the claim type requires it.
• Example amount: $300.00

This example is generated from packet-backed values. Confirm coverage, exemptions, lookback periods, and liquidated-damages rules before relying on the amount.
