What is wrongful termination?

Even though Ohio is an at-will employment state, employers do not have a free pass to violate your legal rights. Employers are obligated to follow the state and federal employment laws.

• Wrongful termination refers to a firing that violates state or federal employment laws. A wrongful termination can also occur if it implicates an important public policy.  In general, employers can be held responsible if they terminated you for the following unlawful reasons:
• Being a member of a protected class, which includes race, gender, national origin, religion, age, military status, or disability, among others
• Engaging in protected activity, such as taking leave under the Family Medical Leave Act, filing a Workers’ Compensation claim, reporting safety violations or fraudulent business practices, or refusing to engage in illegal activity
• In retaliation for reporting discriminatory behavior or engaging in other protected activities

Specifically, many wrongful termination cases involve:

• Discrimination on the basis of:
  • Race
  • Gender
  • Gender Identity
  • Pregnancy
  • National Origin
  • Age
  • Religion
  • Disability
  • Military status
• Employees on medical leave
• Employees who have medical restrictions
• Employees on maternity leave
• Employees deployed for military service
• Retaliation against employees who filed a complaint against the employer
• Retaliation against employees who filed for workers’ compensation after an injury
