Labor: fair employment practices; deductions from wages without written consent of employee; revise notice period for certain deductions related to garnishment. Amends sec. 7 of 1978 PA 390 (MCL 408.477).
HB 4293 requires Michigan employers to obtain written permission from employees before deducting most amounts from paychecks, with exceptions for legally required payments. It limits deductions to 15% of gross wages and ensures employees still receive at least the state or federal minimum wage after deductions. The bill also sets specific rules for handling overpaid wages (without consent if properly documented) and court-ordered debt deductions (requiring 10 business days' written notice). This directly affects all Michigan employers and employees who have deductions taken from their paychecks.
