Ohio employment law

I could be wrong but I think it is perfectly legal because Ohio is an "at will" state, which means that an employer can terminate an employee for any reason at any time and the employee's remedy is to file for unemployment, with some few exceptions. One big exception is if there is an employment contract that was signed before the employment started (or a written modification or subsequent contract), in which event the terms of the agreement are likely to prevail. If you are serious about challenging the practice, then you should talk to a local employment law attorney or call your local bar association and ask for a referral to a local employment law attorney. Don't talk to a general practice lawyer about a problem that requires a specialist. Because it is a specialized area of law you might have to go to the Akron Bar Association or the Columbus Bar Association to get a referral to a specialist.
