How is the Ohio minimum wage rate calculated?
- The Ohio Constitution requires that the State minimum wage rate be adjusted for inflation each January 1. The increase is calculated using the percentage the Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased over the previous year, rounded to the nearest five cents.
- An employer may pay a tipped employee no less than the half the general minimum wage rate if the employer can show that the employee’s combined tips and cash wages are at least equal to the general minimum wage rate.
- Employees under the age of 16 and employees of businesses that grossed less than $394,000 for the preceding year must be paid at least the $7.25/hour federal minimum wage rate. The gross revenue figure is increased each year by the change in the CPI, rounded to the nearest one thousand dollars.
