Plain-language summary, not legal advice.
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.
