To file a wrongful termination lawsuit in Ohio, there are several requirements that must be met. First and foremost, the employee must have been terminated for an unlawful reason under Ohio law. This includes being terminated based on discrimination or retaliation for engaging in a protected activity, such as reporting a violation of the law or filing a workers' compensation claim.
In order to bring a successful wrongful termination lawsuit, the employee must also have exhausted all available administrative remedies before filing suit. This usually involves filing a charge of discrimination with the Ohio Civil Rights Commission or the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) within 180 days of the termination.
Additionally, the employee must file the lawsuit within the statute of limitations, which is generally 180 days after receiving a right-to-sue letter from the Ohio Civil Rights Commission or the EEOC.
It is important to note that there may be exceptions or limitations to these requirements depending on the specific circumstances of the case. It is recommended that individuals seeking to file a wrongful termination lawsuit consult with an experienced employment law attorney to fully understand their legal rights and options.
If you believe you have been wrongfully terminated and meet the filing requirements, it may be in your best interest to contact an attorney as soon as possible to discuss the possibility of filing a lawsuit.
