Ohio’s minimum wage will increase to $9.30 per hour for non-tipped employees and $4.65 per hour for tipped employees, effective January 1, 2022. This new minimum wage will apply to employees of businesses with annual gross receipts of more than $342,000 per year.
For employees at smaller companies with annual gross receipts of $342,000 or less per year, and for 14- and 15-year-olds, the minimum wage continues to be the federal rate of $7.25 per hour.
As a reminder, employers should update their minimum wage and overtime poster, which should be posted in a location that is easily visible, such as an employee breakroom or other common space accessible by employees. A copy of the new 2022 poster is available from the Ohio Department of Commerce and can be found here.
