Bill > HB4577

This bill amends Section 7 of the Michigan law that regulates the time and manner of payment of wages and fringe benefits to employees. The key provisions are: 1. It prohibits employers from deducting wages without the written consent of the employee, except for deductions required or permitted by law or a collective bargaining agreement. It also prohibits public employers from deducting wages for contributions to certain political funds. 2. It allows employers to deduct overpayments of wages or fringe benefits without the written consent of the employee, but only within 6 months of the overpayment and under certain conditions, such as providing written notice and limiting the deduction to 15% of the employee's gross wages. 3. It allows employers to deduct amounts they paid for an employee's debt under a default judgment, again with certain conditions, including providing written notice and limiting the deduction to 15% of the employee's gross wages. 4. The bill takes effect 90 days after it is enacted into law.
