The minimum wage is scheduled to increase 15 cents on January 1 to $8.30 per hour for non-tipped employees

Ohioans on minimum wage will get a slight bump in their pay next year.

Minimum wage in the state is scheduled to increase 15 cents on January 1 to $8.30 per hour for non-tipped employees and $4.15 per hour for tipped employees. The increase will apply to employees of businesses that make more than $305,000 per year.

The Constitutional Amendment passed by Ohio voters in November 2006 states that Ohio’s minimum wage shall increase on January 1 of each year by the rate of inflation.

Employees at smaller companies with annual earnings of $305,000 or less per year, and for 14 and 15-year-olds, will be under the federal minimum wage, $7.25 per hour.
