Ohio Requires Detailed Pay Statements
Starting April 9, 2025, a new law will require employers of all sizes to provide detailed pay statements (also known as pay stubs) to all employees. Previously, Ohio was one of only a few states that did not legally require employers to provide pay stubs. Under this new law, employers will need to provide employees with detailed pay statements on each regular payday. These statements must include the following information for the pay period:
Employee's name and address
Employer's name
Total gross wages paid
Total net wages paid
Amount and purpose of each addition or deduction from the wages
Date paid and pay period
For hourly employees, the pay stub must also include:
Total hours worked
Number of overtime hours
The hourly wage that the employee was paid
Employers can provide these pay stubs in written or electronic form, or by giving employees access to a statement that has this information, such as within an online portal.
Action Item:
Begin providing pay statements with the required information by April 9, 2025
