FAQ
Deductions can be made in certain cases, but the legality often depends on the nature and purpose of the deductions, as well as the status of the employee as exempt or non-exempt. Ohio law prohibits wage deductions, without an express contract with the employee, for wares, tools, or machinery destroyed or damaged.
So in Ohio, your employer will have sixty days to correct payroll errors once you bring the error to their attention.
Unless the deduction is required by law (i.e., child support, garnishments etc.). Employers are also prohibited from withholding or offsetting wages because the employee has damaged tools, equipment or wares (breakage). R.C. § 4113.19.
Ohio residents can also file an unpaid wage complaint with the Ohio Department of Commerce. However, again, we would encourage Ohio residents with potential unpaid wages issues to contact an Ohio unpaid wages or unpaid overtime lawyer first before making a complaint with the Ohio Department of Commerce.
A salaried employee in Ohio can work up to 40 hours in one standard workweek. Any hours worked beyond 40 are compensated at one and a half times the employee's hourly rate. Salaried employees must be classified as non-exempt to be eligible for overtime compensation.
