Introduced
by
To undo provisions in recent <a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2005-SB-318">changes</a> to the state law that makes it unlawful to employ a worker for less than a certain dollar amount set by the government ("minimum wage"), so as to maintain the status quo with respect to certain exemptions to overtime pay requirements. An unintended consequence of the recent changes was to apply the overtime pay requirement (one-and-one half times the regular hourly wage rate) to many professions that had previously been exempt, because the norm in them is fewer shifts with longer hours per shift (hospital nurses, long-haul truckers and auto salespersons have been cited as examples).
