Final paycheck · Ohio
Ohio rule applied to your case
Final pay due
Next regular payday
Ohio sets the deadline as your next regular payday. The exact date depends on your employer's payroll schedule, so this tool can't pin it to a calendar day.
Late-pay consequence
Liquidated damages 6% or $200
Under §4113.15(B), if wages are unpaid 30 days past the payday (60 days where there is no regular payday) and there is no bona fide dispute, the employee may recover liquidated damages of 6% of the unpaid claim or $200, whichever is greater — a one-time amount, NOT 6% per day.

Enter your last day worked to apply the rule to your dates.

This is the Ohio rule applied to what you entered — a plain summary of the deadline, not a determination that any employer did or did not pay on time.

Informational only, not legal advice. Final-pay rules turn on details this summary cannot weigh (payroll schedule, disputed amounts, deductions). See the full rules and citations on the Ohio final paycheck reference, cited to R.C. §4113.15(A); §4113.15(B).

How Ohio final paycheck timing works

Ohio has one deadline for both quitting and being fired: your next regular payday. Because §4113.15(A) is built around a semi-monthly pay structure — wages earned are payable by the 1st and the 15th — some charts describe it as an outer bound of roughly 15 days, but the operative rule is the next scheduled payday. Watch the penalty math: §4113.15(B) allows liquidated damages of the greater of 6% of the unpaid claim or $200, and it is a one-time amount that unlocks after a 30-day delay with no bona fide dispute. Some aggregators wrongly call it "6% per day" — it is not.

This tool applies the Ohio rule to your last day worked. It is informational only and not legal advice — a "next regular payday" rule depends on your payroll schedule, and disputed amounts or deductions can change things.
