Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file an employment claim in Ohio?
For discrimination claims under Ohio law, you must file with the Ohio Civil Rights Commission within 300 days of the incident. For federal claims under Title VII, the deadline is 180 days. Wage claims under Ohio Revised Code Section 4111 have a one-year statute of limitations.
Can I be fired for no reason in Ohio?
Ohio is an at-will employment state, meaning an employer can terminate you for any reason not prohibited by law. However, you cannot be fired for discriminatory reasons based on race, gender, age, disability, or religion, nor for retaliation or exercising a protected right.
What types of cases do employment lawyers handle in Independence?
They handle cases involving wrongful termination, workplace harassment, wage and hour disputes, non-compete agreements, severance negotiations, and whistleblower claims. They also advise on employment contracts and family and medical leave issues under Ohio and federal law.
