Ohio to Soon Require Pay Stub Transparency – What the New Law Means For Employers
Fisher Phillips | Feb 2025
The PSPA requires an employee who does not receive a statement as required to make a written request to the employer to receive the statement and the employer shall provide the employee with the statement not later than ten days after receiving the request. If the employee does not receive the requested statement within the ten-day period, the employee may report the violation to Ohio’s director of commerce. If the director determines that there are reasonable grounds to believe there was a violation, the director shall issue a written notice to the employer. On receipt, the employer shall immediately post the notice, or a copy of the notice, in a conspicuous place on the employer’s premises for 10 days.
