New Overtime Law Takes Effect July 6

Changes to Ohio’s overtime law take effect July 6, harmonizing state law with the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). OMA Connections Partner Squire Patton Boggs calls it a welcome change for employers since Senate Bill 47 adopts the FLSA’s “opt-in” requirement for individuals seeking to join a wage and hour lawsuit, while also exempting certain activities from the definition of hours worked. 6/28/2022
