For nontipped employees, the hourly wage will rise to $11.40, marking a 40-cent increase. Tipped employees will see their hourly rate go up by 20 cents, reaching $5.70 per hour.

This annual adjustment is mandated by a constitutional amendment approved by Ohio voters in 2006. The amendment requires the state’s minimum wage to increase every January 1, based on the rate of inflation.

In addition to wage changes, the annual gross receipt requirement for businesses to be subject to the state minimum wage will also increase. This threshold will move from $405,000 to $425,000, an increase of $15,000. Businesses below this threshold can pay the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour.

Workers who are 14 or 15 years old are eligible only for the federal minimum wage, not the state rate.

Over the last decade, Ohio’s minimum wage has collectively increased by $3.25. When the 2006 amendment was first enacted, nontipped workers earned $4.25 per hour.
