KEEPING YOU INFORMED

Stay compliant, protect your business:

Key 2025 employment law, HR resources


What’s happening: Michigan’s employment laws are changing in 2025, including the new Earned Sick Time Act and updates to minimum wage regulations (effective February 21, 2025). These changes impact every business, requiring updates to workplace policies, employee handbooks and labor law postings while creating new compliance challenges.

Why it matters: Staying on top of evolving employment laws is time consuming and complex. Missing a requirement can lead to fines, legal risks and operational headaches. That’s why the Michigan Chamber has created a suite of practical, trusted and easy-to-use resources – so you can focus on running your business with confidence.


New resources and tools: We’ve updated our employment law offerings to simplify compliance.

  • 2025 Labor Law Poster Subscription – Includes all legally required postings, plus real-time, free updates for 12 months of any new state or federal changes. LEARN MORE/ORDER
  • Michigan-Specific 2025 Employment Law Handbook – A comprehensive guide, developed with legal experts at Miller Canfield, covering key topics like hiring and firing, compensation and benefits, and employer and employee protections. LEARN MORE/ORDER
  • Hundreds of updates for 2025! Includes new Earned Sick Time Act and minimum wage updates
  • Includes FREE registration to a webinar walking through the key regulations and changes (May 1, 12–1 PM) – Get expert insights plus live Q&A with Miller Canfield’s legal team.
  • Sample Employee Handbook 2025: A Blueprint of Workplace Policies – Designed for small businesses in partnership with legal experts at Butzel, featuring two options for new required Earned Sick Time policies and a variety of common clauses and best practices for workplace policies. LEARN MORE/ORDER
