Not much if the delay is less than thirty days.

See Ohio Revised Code section 4113.15(B) "Where wages remain unpaid for thirty days beyond the regularly scheduled payday or, in the case where no regularly scheduled payday is applicable, for sixty days beyond the filing by the employee of a claim or for sixty days beyond the date of the agreement, award, or other act making wages payable and no contest court order or dispute of any wage claim including the assertion of a counterclaim exists accounting for nonpayment, the employer, in addition, as liquidated damages, is liable to the employee in an amount equal to six per cent of the amount of the claim still unpaid and not in contest or disputed or two hundred dollars, whichever is greater."

Basically you are entitled to your pay plus $200 or your pay and 6% interest. But this if you successfully sue your employer for unpaid wages. Not a palatable undertaking.
