Ohio - Minimum wage set at $6.85

Ohio's Wage and Hour Bureau has confirmed that from January 1, 2007, the minimum wage for all employees, with certain exceptions, is $6.85 per hour.

Employers with a gross turnover of less than $250,000 are exempt but must pay at least the federal minimum wage. Employees under the age of 16 and employees in certain other occupations are also exempt from the new minimum rate.

The minimum rate for tipped employees, i.e. those receiving more than $30 per month in tips, is $3.43. However, their wages including tips may not come to less than $6.85 per hour.
