The minimum wage for tipped employees increases by 20 cents to $5.25.

Ohio’s minimum wage is going up because of a Constitutional Amendment passed by voters in 2006. It stated that Ohio’s minimum wage should increase on Jan. 1 each year due to inflation.

Ohio is one of several states increasing the minimum wage in 2024.

Most notable is California, where the minimum wage for fast food workers will increase to $20 per hour.
