Ohio Pay Stub Requirements

Ohio is new to this list — its pay stub requirement took effect in April 2025, so employers who never issued stubs before now have to.

What Ohio law requires on the stub

• The employee's name and address
• The employer's name
• Gross wages and net wages
• Every deduction, itemized
• The pay period dates and the pay date
• For hourly workers: hours worked, the hourly rate, and overtime hours
