Client Briefing from the Labor and Employment Group - December 2009
OHIO's MINIMUM WAGE WON'T RISE IN 2010
The Ohio Department of Commerce recently announced that Ohio's minimum wage will remain the same in 2010. You will recall that the state minimum wage has been tied to the consumer price index for urban wage earners and clerical workers since 2006. For the 12-month period before September 1, 2009, the index declined by 0.2 percent. As such, employers grossing more than $267,000 per year will continue to pay $7.30 per hour to non-tipped employees and $3.65 per hour to tipped employees in 2010. Smaller employers will continue to pay the federal minimum wage, currently $7.25 per hour. The minimum wage for 14 and 15 year old employees remains $7.25 per hour.
