MRLA President & CEO Provides Statement on Court of Claims Judge Granting Stay for Ruling on 2018 Adopt-And-Amend
"Judge Shapiro’s decision to stay the implementation of his ruling until February has successfully prevented the immediate economic decimation of full-service restaurants, but it leaves a teetering industry unsure of its future and incapable of making informed decisions to regain stability. We are hopeful that the state of Michigan files for a full stay of Judge Shapiro’s ruling to the Court of Appeals and that ultimately a decision is reached that allows Michigan restaurants a reliable path towards full recovery which includes operating with a tip credit like 42 other states currently do."
