Q&A: Michigan Freedom to Work Law

Q:   The Michigan Freedom to Work Law – Public Acts 348 & 349 – has an effective date of 3-28-13.  Will we receive new labor law posters?

A:  Freedom to Work posters issued by the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) are not required posters. They will not be added to our Michigan state poster as posting is optional, according to Michigan LARA.   The Michigan Freedom to Work Law (Public Act 348 for private employers and Public Act 349 for public employers) goes into effect in late March.
