Cincinnati Wrongful Termination Attorneys
Involuntary termination – getting fired or laid off – is a difficult experience for any individual. Your job is important to you and your family and valuable benefits such as insurance and pension are often at risk. You owe it to yourself and your family to make sure you understand your legal rights.
Our Employment Law Firm
At The Butler Trial Firm, we recognize that every set of circumstances leading to a termination is unique. Because we are committed to achieving meaningful results, our employment law attorneys consider both traditional and innovative ways to resolve Cincinnati employment disputes to determine which is best suited to the individual personal and professional needs of each particular client.
Although a monetary award is often the desired result, we have found that a variety of other remedies can make a significant difference in our clients’ lives. Such remedies may include reinstatement (getting your job back), receiving additional insurance or retirement benefits, or erasing an unfavorable employment record.
What Is Wrongful Termination And How Is It A Form Of Employer Retaliation?
Wrongful termination is when an employer dismisses an employee for illegal reasons. Under Ohio law, employers cannot terminate employees for engaging in legally protected conduct, as that is considered employer retaliation.
Examples of wrongful termination in Ohio workplaces include:
- Discriminatory termination: Terminating a qualified employee from a manufacturing company after learning of their religious practices, gender or national origin
- Termination based on disability: Dismissing an employee from farm work after they request modified duties due to a medical condition
- Age-based termination: Replacing an over-40 experienced worker in a logistics company with a significantly younger employee
- Medical leave retaliation: Being fired shortly after returning from approved medical leave
- Whistleblowing: Termination after reporting illegal activities
Employers can legally terminate employees for poor performance, which may not be retaliation. We can help investigate your situation to reveal the truth.
Steps To Take After A Wrongful Termination In Ohio
Taking these steps early can strengthen your claim:
- Request a written explanation of your termination and avoid signing severance agreements
- Gather evidence such as performance reviews
- Speak to a wrongful termination lawyer for an investigation
- File a charge with the Ohio Civil Rights Commission within six months
