COLUMBUS, Ohio (WSYX) — Ohio's minimum wage is scheduled to increase to $10.45 for most workers in the new year.
Non-tipped employees will see their hourly wages rise from $10.10 starting on Jan. 1.
That's an increase of approximately 3.5 percent. Ohio voters in 2006 passed a constitutional amendment requiring the state's minimum wage to increase on Jan. 1 each year to match the inflation rate,
according to the Ohio Department of Commerce's website.
Those who do earn tips will see their minimum hourly wages increase from $5.05 to $5.25, an increase of almost 4 percent.
The minimum wage is $7.25 for some small businesses, as well as for some workers ages 14 and 15.
