Ohio Senate Bill 331 added ORC 4113.85 preempting local paid sick leave, fringe benefit, and scheduling mandates on private employers statewide.
Senate Bill 331, effective in 2017 and codified at ORC 4113.85, prohibits political subdivisions from requiring private employers to provide paid or unpaid leave that exceeds federal or state law, including sick days, vacation, holidays, or other fringe benefits. The law was passed after Cleveland and other municipalities considered local paid sick leave mandates. Ohio has no statewide paid sick leave or paid family leave law, leaving private employer policies as the primary source of leave benefits.
Local paid leave ordinances against private employers are preempted and unenforceable under ORC 4113.85.
