Ohio wage and hour laws, the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), and other federal laws protect employees throughout the state whose employers are wrongfully denying them pay. The law clearly classifies the difference between independent contractors and employees: the employer pays less in wages and also avoids paying overtime and payroll taxes.
