MCL 566.132 — Michigan's Statute of Frauds requires certain agreements to be in writing to be enforceable, including contracts that cannot be performed within one year. There are variations from the common law that make understanding Michigan's specific requirements important for contracts.
Michigan Right to Work Law, MCL 423.209 — Prohibits requiring union membership or payment of union dues as a condition of employment.
MCL 445.774a — Michigan non-compete agreements must be reasonable in duration, geographical area, and type of employment or line of business. This statute provides specific guidance on enforceability requirements.
Bullard-Plawecki Employee Right to Know Act, MCL 423.501 — Requires employers to permit employees to inspect their own personnel records.
