Ohio SB331 allows public hospitality employees to accept gratuities in addition to their regular compensation.

Ohio SB331 amends the Revised Code to permit public hospitality employees to accept gratuities. These employees work at publicly owned facilities such as parks, recreational camps, retail establishments, food service operations, golf courses, theaters, and marine recreational facilities. The bill prohibits public agencies from counting these gratuities as credits toward the minimum wage or paying employees less than the regular compensation for similar positions.
