Ohio Overtime Rules
Ohio pays overtime on the federal weekly standard — 1.5× your regular rate after 40 hours in a workweek, with no daily overtime. What sets Ohio apart is its minimum wage, which adjusts for inflation each January under a 2006 constitutional amendment.
- 1.5× pay for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek.
- No daily overtime or double time — only weekly hours over 40 count.
- Ohio's minimum wage rises with inflation each January, but overtime is paid on your actual rate.
Ohio's overtime mirrors the federal FLSA, so a long single day creates no overtime by itself — only weekly hours over 40. The Ohio Department of Commerce handles state wage-and-hour questions.
The Ohio minimum wage is $10.70/hour (tipped minimum $5.35). Overtime is calculated on your actual hourly rate, not the minimum. See the full 2026 minimum wage table or compare states side by side.
