Ohio minimum wage to remain at $7.30 per hour in 2010
The minimum wage in Ohio will remain unchanged at $7.30 per hour in 2010. For tipped employees, the minimum wage remains at $3.65 per hour, plus tips. Ohio's minimum wage applies to employers who gross more than $267,000 per year.
The constitutional amendment passed by voters in November 2006 states that Ohio's minimum wage shall increase on January 1 of each year by the rate of inflation. The wage is tied to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for urban wage earners and clerical workers for the 12-month period prior to September. This index declined by 0.2 percent from September 1, 2008, to August 31, 2009, resulting in no change to the state minimum wage.
For employees at companies grossing $267,000 or less per year and for 14- and 15-year-old workers, the state minimum wage is $7.25 per hour. (The Ohio Department of Commerce News Release, October 1, 2009.)
