Employers covered by Michigan's wage payment law must pay wages at least twice in a calendar month. Payment must be made on the first day of the month for wages earned the first 15 days of the preceding month and on the 15th day of the month for wages earned from the 16th day to the last day of the preceding month.

Michigan requires employers to withhold state income tax from employees' wages and remit the amounts withheld to the Department of the Treasury.

Michigan has reciprocal agreements with Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin. Michigan employers are not required to withhold Michigan income tax from compensation earned in Michigan by residents of those states.

Other out-of-state employers that have employees who work in Michigan must register with the state Treasury Department and withhold Michigan income tax from all employees working within the state.
