Employment Law
The legal rights of working people in America have been evolving and changing since the Industrial Revolution. While current federal and state employment laws protect workers from issues like discrimination, unsafe conditions and wrongful termination, the truth is that the system is far from perfect.

No matter where you work, or the color of your collar, you need an attorney who not only understands the specific laws that govern your industry but will also listen and provide personalized attention in your situation.
In Ohio, generally an employer does not need a reason to discharge an employee. This is called the "employment at will" doctrine. However, there are many exceptions that prevent the employer from unjustly terminating an employee. If one of the exceptions applies, a terminated employee may have a remedy at law to recover damages. Federal and state statutes protect employees from being fired because of race, sex, age or disability. Employees may also be protected if they can establish that the termination was in retaliation for taking advantage of the Federal Medical Leave Act or being a "whistle blower." At Miraldi & Barrett Co., we have the experience and legal knowledge to handle all your employment law needs.
