Can I offer a referral program for my customers in Michigan? What are the requirements?
Referral Program Requirements in Michigan
Michigan law does not have specific requirements for referral programs. However, if you plan to offer a referral program, you should ensure that it complies with Michigan’s general business laws and regulations.
One relevant law is the Type A Personnel Agency Act [MICL 339.1013][6.1], which regulates personnel agencies that direct clients to employment. This law requires personnel agencies to obtain a bona fide job order from the proposed employer before directing a client to employment. The job order must include specific information, such as the name and address of the employer and the rate of the wage or salary to be paid to an employee. Personnel agencies must also provide clients with written information about the referral, including the name and address of the employer and the minimum starting salary or wage of the proposed employment.
While referral programs are not explicitly covered by this law, it provides some guidance on the type of information that should be included in a referral. You should also ensure that your referral program complies with other relevant laws and regulations, such as those related to advertising and consumer protection.
In summary, Michigan law does not have specific requirements for referral programs, but you should ensure that your program complies with relevant laws and regulations.
