More details to this question:
For instance, I just worked two weeks...my payday is sept6, my job is finally paying me for my OT from 8/10/14 thru 8/23/14? Why is that and us it legal? PepsiCo is the company I work for, they just switched to this style of pay approximately 6months ago. Prior to this I was paid my ot when my pay period ended....with no waiting an extra two weeks.

I'm unsure why they are holding it. Perhaps because they are processing the overtime differently. However, you have 30 days from your regularly scheduled payday to be paid before you have a legal claim against your employer. The statute is R.C. 4113.15.
