For those of you who took an extra long holiday weekend, the
new year also brings an adjustment in your payroll systems to reflect a 15 cent
increase in Ohio’s minimum wage to $8.30/hour and (probably in February) to reflect reduced
payroll withholdings at the federal level.
The New Year also brings the requirement to update your Ohio minimum
wage posters in your break rooms and electronic handbooks. I’m
always surprised at how many employers remember to adjust their wages but not
their posters. So, finish your cup of
coffee and print out the poster from this link:

And we’ll see if (or how long) I can stick with my New Year’s
resolution to blog a couple times each week like in my youth. (Yes, I’m a luddite that still prefers the
web and emails to Facebook, Instagram, Texting or Twitter . . . . . .)
