Employee Salary

According to Section 4111.01 of the Ohio Revised Code, “wage” refers to compensation due to an employee by reason of employment, subject to certain deductions and allowances permitted by the director of commerce. Employers in Ohio are mandated to pay their employees at a wage rate not less than the specified minimum wage rate. Additionally, employers must compensate employees for overtime at a rate of one and one-half times the employee’s regular wage rate for hours worked beyond forty hours in one workweek, in accordance with the Fair Labor Standards Act (Ohio Revised Code, n.d.).

As of 2023, the minimum wage in Ohio is $10.10 per hour for non-tipped employees and $5.05 per hour for tipped employees. This minimum wage is set to increase to $10.45 per hour for non-tipped employees and $5.25 per hour for tipped employees effective January 1, 2024. These rates apply to employees of businesses with annual gross receipts exceeding a certain threshold (Ohio, 2023).
