My husband works in Ohio and his employer is based out of Ohio. My husband is a Non-Exempt worker who gets paid OT for anything worked over 40 hours a week. HOWEVER, his OT is paid at STRAIGHT time pay. There is no premium pay for OT. Does this violate a labor law? Thanks in advance.

We have to determine whether the company is subject to the Ohio equivalent of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act. If so, then any hours worked in excess of 40 in a workweek must be paid at time-and-a-half.

Does the company have at least $150K in gross revenue per year ($500K for federal)? If not, does the company produce goods shipped out of state? Or buy inventory from out-of-state suppliers? Or take credit cards for orders from out-of state banks? (Interstate commerce requirements for the company to be subject to the FLSA.)

We also need to know what type of business this is and what he does.

I believe the company would probably meet the financial guidelines below. The company he works for provides a service. Most employees are technicians or engineering techs. They are contracted to provide maintenance/troubleshoot issues for natural gas pipelines.
