§ 1313.44.
Persons who have performed labor in the service of the assignor within twelve months
next preceding an assignment for the benefit of creditors, are entitled to receive
out of the trust funds, before the paying of other creditors, the full amount of wages
due for such labor not exceeding three hundred dollars. This section and section 1313.43 of the Revised Code do not prejudice or affect securities given, or liens obtained in good faith, for
value, but judgments by confession on warrants of attorney rendered within two months
prior to such assignment, or securities given within such time to create a preference
among creditors, or to secure a pre-existing debt other than upon real property for
the purchase money thereof, are of no force or validity as against such claims for
labor, in case of assignment, to the extent provided in this section.
