Ohio Overtime Law Provisions

1.5x after 40 hours per workweek for non-exempt employees of businesses with annual gross volume over $405,000 ($11.00/hr). Smaller businesses follow federal $7.25 baseline.

Enforcement Agency: Ohio Department of Commerce - Division of Industrial Compliance. Non-exempt hourly employees in Ohio are legally shielded under concurrent state wage regulations and the federal Fair Labor Standards Act.
Payroll Deductions: Graduated state income tax up to 3.50% (plus municipal income taxes). In addition, federal FICA taxes (6.2% Social Security + 1.45% Medicare) apply uniformly across every pay period.
Unpaid Overtime Recovery: If your employer failed to pay earned 1.5x overtime or misclassified your role, you have the legal right to file a free statutory wage claim with Ohio Department of Commerce - Division of Industrial Compliance or the US Department of Labor (WHD) to recover back wages plus potential liquidated damages.

Frequently Asked Questions in Ohio

How is time-and-a-half overtime calculated in Ohio?

In Ohio, multiply your regular base hourly wage by 1.5. For example, if you make $11.00/hr, your overtime rate is $16.50/hr. Any hours worked past 40 hours in a single payroll workweek must be paid at this rate.

Can an employer in Ohio refuse to pay overtime?

No. If you are classified as a non-exempt employee, your employer is legally required to pay overtime under both Ohio Department of Commerce - Division of Industrial Compliance statutes and federal FLSA regulations, regardless of whether the overtime was pre-approved.

Is overtime pay taxed differently in Ohio?

Overtime is taxed as regular earned income. While your paystub may look like more taxes were withheld due to entering a higher weekly tax bracket, any excess withholding is balanced out on your annual tax return.
