Understanding Ohio Overtime Law

State Constitutional Minimum Wage and Overtime

Ohio's overtime protections come from both the FLSA and the Ohio Constitution, which was amended in 2006 to establish a state minimum wage with annual cost-of-living adjustments. Ohio requires 1.5× pay for hours beyond 40 per week for non-exempt employees. The constitutional provision means Ohio's minimum wage — and thus the base overtime rate — cannot be reduced by the legislature.

Employer Size Matters

Ohio's overtime law applies differently based on employer size. Employers with annual gross revenue of $385,000 or more must pay the state minimum wage and overtime. Smaller employers must still comply with the federal FLSA if they meet the $500,000 enterprise coverage threshold or if employees are individually covered through interstate commerce activities.

No Daily Overtime or Double Time

Ohio does not have daily overtime requirements or double time provisions. All overtime is calculated on a weekly basis at 1.5× the regular rate.
