FAQ
FREEDOM from discrimination, harassment, or retaliation at any stage of the employment process. EQUAL ACCESS to programs and services offered, and employment opportunities. The right to FILE A COMPLAINT if you experience discrimination, harassment, or retaliation.
In Ohio, as in many other states, employment is considered “at-will.” This essentially means that an employer can fire or terminate an employee at any time for any reason, including reasons that are unfair or for no reason at all.
Can My Employer Terminate Me if They Can't Offer Modified Work? Ohio employers cannot fire you because you filed a claim for workers' compensation or because you have asked for modified or light-duty work. Employer retaliation is illegal under Ohio workers' comp law.
At-will employment solely focuses on either the termination of an employee or when an employee leaves. Right-to-work statutes make employers offer the choice of joining a union or not, but limit their ability to terminate employees if they choose to represent themselves.
There are no limits established by the state of Ohio on the number of hours in a day or week one can work. Federal law is also without limits regarding the amount of time worked in a given period, meaning that individuals 16 and older can determine the amount of hours worked suitable to them.
Ohio Scheduling Notice Law There is no specific law in Ohio that requires employers to provide advance notice of work schedules. Unlike some states that have enacted predictive scheduling laws requiring a minimum notice period (such as 7 or 14 days), Ohio does not impose such requirements.
Ohio is an at-will employment state, which means that in the absence of a written employment agreement or a collective bargaining agreement providing otherwise, either the employer or the employee may terminate employment for any reason that is not contrary to law.
Ohio Meal Break Laws In the Buckeye state, until employees reach the age of 18, minor employees must be given at least a 30-minute uninterrupted break for every 5 hours of continuous work. Adult employees are not entitled to any breaks under federal or state law.
