The Legal Landscape in Ohio

Ohio applies the right-to-control test with specific attention to economic dependency. Our workers choose their gigs and aren't dependent on YoZombie for their livelihood — but Ohio requires careful legal documentation to confirm this. Targeting 2027.

YoZombie workers choose every gig they accept. They set their own availability. They use their own tools. They work for multiple clients. That’s the definition of an independent contractor — and it holds up under Ohio’s framework. We just need to properly document it.

We’re targeting Ohio for 2027. Join the waitlist — you’ll hear from us when we’re ready.

What We’re Working On in Ohio

⚖️

The Legal Work

We’re working through Ohio’s classification framework to ensure our independent contractor model is fully compliant before we launch.

🛡️

Our Model Holds Up

Workers who choose their own gigs, set their own schedule, and use their own tools — as YoZombie workers do — qualify as independent contractors here. We just need to document it properly.

Building the Playbook

Our 2026 launches in easy states give us the operational template. We adapt and document it for Ohio’s specific requirements.

Common Questions About YoZombie in Ohio

When is YoZombie coming to Ohio?

YoZombie is targeting Ohio for 2027. The state's worker classification framework requires more legal groundwork than our 2026 launch states, but our model holds up under scrutiny. We're doing the work now so we can launch clean. Join the waitlist at yozombie.com/states/ohio to be notified first.

How does YoZombie work for businesses in Ohio?

Ohio businesses will post a gig through the YoZombie app — set the task, rate, and time. Nearby independent gig workers see it in real time and choose to accept. The business pays a flat fee of $12–$25 per gig slot. No payroll. No agency markup. No long-term commitments. Payment releases automatically when the worker checks in via QR code.

How much do gig workers earn on YoZombie in Ohio?

Gig workers in Ohio will keep 100% of the posted gig rate when YoZombie launches there. YoZombie takes zero commission from worker pay — ever. Workers are paid via Stripe Connect within 1–2 business days of completing a gig.

Why is Ohio launching in 2027 and not 2026?

Ohio uses a worker classification framework that requires more legal documentation and setup than our 2026 easy states. Our independent contractor model is sound here — workers genuinely control their own schedule and tools — but we're taking the time to properly validate and document everything before launch. Getting it right is more important than getting there fast.

Which cities in Ohio will YoZombie serve first?

YoZombie's 2027 rollout in Ohio will focus on Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, and Toledo, with service expanding statewide as the network grows. Join the waitlist at yozombie.com/states/ohio to be first in your city.
