The Connecticut Department of Labor is a state agency responsible for overseeing labor laws and regulations in the state of Connecticut. They provide resources and support to both employers and employees to ensure compliance with state labor standards.
When it comes to classifying workers, there’s more than meets the eye. Beyond the familiar categories of employees and independent contractors, there’s a third type you need to know: statutory employees.
These workers are unique because they’re technically considered independent contractors, but certain laws require you to treat them as employees for tax purposes. Understanding who qualifies as a statutory employee is essential for maintaining compliance and avoiding legal headaches.
Getting Ohio minimum wage wrong doesn’t just mean violation penalties. Instead, it means wage claims, years of retroactive pay, and interest on unpaid wages at 6%. And each of these can turn small errors into six-figure disasters. Even worse, one employee complaint triggers compliance reviews examining every pay statement you’ve issued for the past three years.
But here’s what makes Ohio particularly tricky: automatic wage increases based on CPI adjustment, confusing gross receipts thresholds, and tip credit calculations that trip up even experienced employers. This guide breaks down exactly what you need to know about Ohio wage law in 2025, 2026, and beyond, from understanding which employers can still pay federal minimum to properly documenting tipped employee earnings that survive audits.
One of your core responsibilities as a business owner is to comply with state regulations, including those regarding unclaimed funds. Unclaimed funds are assets like wages, refunds, or other forms of property that have been abandoned by their rightful owners.

Here’s what business owners need to know about the Ohio Annual Report of Unclaimed Funds, including fees and due dates, and how Mosey can streamline your state compliance.
