Mandatory overtime

An employer can require an employee to work 24/7 with no breaks. The employer only has to pay 1 1/2 times the regular rate for overtime hours. The only exception in Ohio is for child labor, for whom the employer must provide occasional breaks and cannot under certain circumstances require to work more than 8 hours in a day.
