COLUMBUS — Ohio’s minimum wage will increase beginning Jan. 1, 2025, to $10.70 per hour for non-tipped employees and $5.35 per hour for tipped employees. The minimum wage will apply to employees of businesses with annual gross receipts of more than $394,000 per year.
Ohio voters passed Amendment Article II, section 34a of the Constitution in Nov. 2006, making Ohio’s minimum wage subject to increase each Jan. 1 by the inflation rate.
For employees at companies with annual gross receipts of $394,000 or less per year after Jan. 1, 2025, and for 14- and 15-year-olds, the state’s minimum wage is $7.25 per hour, which requires an act by Congress and the President’s signature to change.
