What does Ohio law say about being forced to work a 12 hour shift for an undefined period of time (more that 14 days)?
Forced overtime and length

First of all, are you eligible for and being paid time and a half?
With regard to the amount of overtime, that's a good question. Someone else here (cbg perhaps) might know the answer to that question.

Ohio has absolutely nothing to say on the subject. As long as you are being paid time and a half for any hours over 40 (assuming you are non-exempt) or are making a minimum of $455 per week (if exempt) neither Ohio nor Federal law cares if you are working 168 hours a week, every week.
Surprisingly enough, only two states (ME and CA) have limits as to how many hours may be worked in a work week/pay period; a very small handful of states requires one day off a week but does not limit the number of hours that can be worked in the other six days. Ohio is not among those states.
