Frequently Asked Questions
What constitutes wrongful termination in Ohio?
Ohio is an "at-will" employment state, meaning an employer can generally terminate an employee for any reason or for no reason at all. However, a termination may be considered "wrongful" if it violates a specific law or public policy. This can include being fired for discriminatory reasons (based on race, age, gender, disability, etc.), or in retaliation for taking protected activity such as requesting an ADA accommodation for a disability, requesting FMLA medical leave for a serious medical condition, and other reasons.
Am I entitled to overtime pay in Ohio?
Yes, non-exempt employees are generally entitled to overtime in Ohio. Ohio law, in line with the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), generally requires employers to pay non-exempt employees 1.5 times their regular rate of pay for any hours worked over 40 in a workweek. This applies to both full-time and part-time workers.
Can my employer fire me for filing a workers' compensation claim?
No. It is illegal for an employer in Ohio to terminate or take any other retaliatory action against an employee for filing a legitimate workers' compensation claim. This action is protected, and firing an employee for this reason may be considered wrongful termination.
