OH HB542

Requires every employer to provide each employee with a written or electronic earnings and deductions statement for each pay period on regular paydays.

Statement must include employee name and address, employer name, hours worked per workweek, regular and overtime hourly wage rates, gross and net wages, all deductions with amounts and purposes, and payment date and period.

Employers are not required to include overtime wage rate information for employees exempt from federal Fair Labor Standards Act or Ohio wage laws, or employees receiving compensatory time off instead of overtime pay.

Employees who do not receive a required statement must submit a written request to their employer, which must be fulfilled within ten days or the employee may report the violation to the Director of Commerce.

Upon receiving a report with reasonable grounds for violation, the Director of Commerce must issue a written notice to the employer, which must be immediately posted conspicuously on the employer's premises for ten days.
