Small Business. Big Impact.

Beginning February 21, 2025 all small businesses operating in the State of Michigan will be subject to new minimum wage and paid sick leave requirements.

The Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) is a U.S. federal law that went into effect on January 1, 2024. Businesses that existed prior to January 1, 2024 have a year to comply. Companies that form after the start of this year have only 90 days in which to file.

SBAM has compiled resources to help small businesses navigate the complex reporting requirements you now face.

The current minimum salary level (as of July 1, 2024) is $844 per week or $43,888 per year.  The salary level will increase again on January 1, 2025, to $1,128 per week or $58,656 per year. The 2025 update, which the DOL said will impact 3 million workers, is pegged to the 35th percentile of weekly earnings of full-time salaried workers in the lowest-wage U.S. Census region, which is the southern U.S.
