Ohio has no statewide fair workweek or predictive scheduling law, and Columbus has not adopted a local rule. Employers may set and change schedules without statutory advance notice or predictability pay.
Unlike Oregon, San Francisco, Seattle, New York City, or Los Angeles, Ohio has not enacted a predictive scheduling statute. ORC Chapter 4111 covers minimum wage and overtime but does not regulate schedule notice, employer-initiated change pay, or clopening shifts. ORC §4113.85 (added 2017) actually preempts local labor regulation in several areas, blocking cities from requiring schedule predictability beyond state law. Columbus has not adopted a fair workweek ordinance. Employers may post and modify schedules at will, subject only to contractual obligations or collective bargaining agreements. Federal law (FLSA) requires overtime above 40 hours weekly but does not regulate schedule notice.
No statutory penalty exists for short-notice scheduling in Ohio or Columbus. Employers must still pay overtime under the FLSA and honor any contractual or union scheduling commitments.
