Continuing the Faruki PLL blog series relating to combatting the risks of departing employees, this post addresses a potential issue for employers after an involuntary termination: claims for retaliation. In Ohio, retaliation occurs when an employer takes an adverse employment action against an employee due to that employee’s involvement in a protected activity. For purposes of retaliation, those adverse employment actions can include termination, demotion, negative evaluations, disproportional discipline for an infraction, negative comments, or decrease in pay.
