- For non-tipped employees: The minimum wage is $8.80 per hour for employers with annual gross receipts of $323,000 or more, and $7.25 per hour for employers with annual gross receipts of less than $323,000.
- For tipped employees: The minimum cash wage that employers must pay tipped employees is $4.40 per hour. This amount, when added to the tips received by the employee, must equal at least the minimum wage of $8.80 per hour for employers with annual gross receipts of $323,000 or more, and $7.25 per hour for employers with annual gross receipts of less than $323,000.
There are some potential limitations and exceptions to these wage requirements. For example, there are certain exemptions from minimum wage requirements for certain types of employees, such as domestic employees and outside salespeople, among others. Additionally, the minimum wage may vary for employees who are under the age of 16 or for certain trainees.
If an employer is found to have violated minimum wage requirements in Ohio, they may be subject to fines and other penalties. Additionally, employees who have been underpaid may be entitled to back pay and other damages.
If you have questions about minimum wage requirements or believe that your employer may be violating these requirements, it is recommended that you consult with an experienced employment law attorney for further advice and guidance.
