Unpaid Training Hours
I recently took a position with a company. I trained for one week before actually beginning my job responsibilities. In the meantime I received a better offer from another company. I am now being told by the first employer that because I did not complete 30 days of employment, that they will not pay me for my training (40 hours). Is this legal in Ohio?

No.
It is a violation of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 USC 206, and the Ohio Minimum Wage law, ORC 4111.02. You can complain to the local Wage and Hour Division, or file your own lawsuit. You may also have a claim for the remedies in RC 4113.15.
