Legal Question in Employment Law in Ohio

It is probably legal, but could have a big impact on your status as a salaried/overtime-exempt employee or hourly employee or independence contractor. Employers are permitted to fine employees or institute work rules that would cause the employee to compensate the employer in certain situations. The problem here, if there is one, would be in the enforcement of this policy. Depending on your pay, it is possible that if the policy is enforced you could drop below the minimum wage under Ohio law, or under federal law. If you want a more thorough answer, it will depend upon other factors such as your employer, your compensation rates, your job, etc. Please feel free to call me at my office at (216) 447-9500 or email me at [email protected].
