Workforce Bulletin

Beginning April 9, 2025, Ohio employers will be legally required to give employees access to their paystubs. Citing transparency, accountability, and fairness in the workplace, the Ohio General Assembly unanimously passed the the Paystub Protection Act (PPA),  which requires Ohio employers to issue paystubs, either electronically or via hard copy, to all employees on regular paydays that include the:

• Names of the employee and employer;
• Employee’s address;
• Employee’s total gross wages during the pay period;
• Employee’s total net wages during the pay period;
• Amount and purpose of each addition or deduction to wages; and
• Dates of the pay period.

For hourly employees, the following three additional items are required:

• Total hours worked;
• Hourly rate; and
• Hours worked in excess of 40 hours in one workweek.
