In Ohio it's state law for an hourly-wage employee to be paid time-and-a-half if they go over 40 hours a week. When I got a job my boss made me sign something that looks like he typed up in 2 minutes on his computer. It said I wasn't entitled to overtime pay ever. Is it legal for him to just make employees sign whatever crap he types up?

He flat out refuses to pay time-and-half to anyone basically.

I don't think your boss...no matter how big he is...can over-ride a state law. Check with your local labor board...or try finding info in Google about Ohio labor laws.

There are jobs that are considered "Non-Exempt" meaning that you are considered professional-salaried. If you work on a job that requires a punch clock for your attendance, you should be getting overtime for any hours over 8 hours a day or 40 hours a week.
One example of this not being true is a job that has an 80-hour schedule and the time is divided up differently. I work for the Federal Government; some people work 8 9-hour days plus one 8-hour day with a regularly scheduled day off. One week that person would get 45 hours, the next would be only 35 hours.

particular, that is criminal till you're in a state that mandates time beyond regulation pay after 8 hours - maximum states persist with the federal rule, the place time beyond regulation pay is predicated on working over 40 hours in a week, no longer how long you artwork in an afternoon. as long using fact the hours for the week do no longer circulate over 40, no time beyond regulation pay is due. And in case you refuse to artwork the hours they ask you to, they'd legally hearth you. while you're no longer happy with the pay, then discover yet another job which will pay extra effective. in case you like further skills to get a bigger job, then decide what you may desire to do to get those skills.

It's legal for him to have you sign anything he wants. Doesn't mean you're not eligible for overtime though.
If you're job duties are such that you're not exempt, then you're entitled to overtime, and the law does NOT allow you to waive that entitlement.
