Employee handbook says that they won’t pay overtime? Is this legal??

I am a direct care worker for an agency in ohio, i just got hired. The employee handbook says “all overtime pay will be your hourly wage” the only way I can take that is that they won't pay for overtime. Aditionally, overtime is mandatory. On Christmas and Christmas weekend, I'll be working 88 hours in 4 days, so that would really suck if I don't even get paid 1.5x for it. They also say that if you quit without a 2 week notice, they will retroactively reduce your remaining wages to minimum wage. I was wondering if any of this is legal or not?? If not what do I do??
