Outcome
The court affirmed the employer's termination of the employee for violating a directive to route instructor requests through proper channels, a violation of the Last Chance Agreement that required termination upon any performance-related misconduct.
Excerpt
Judgment affirmed. ODRC presented reliable, probative, and substantial evidence demonstrating that appellant violated Rule 7 of the performance track of ODRC's standards of employee conduct when she failed to follow a written directive from her superior. Because appellant had previously entered into a last chance agreement with ODRC, wherein she agreed that any violation of the performance track of ODRC's standards of employee conduct would result in her termination from employment, the trial court did not abuse its discretion in affirming SPBR's order affirming ODRC's order removing appellant from her employment with ODRC. The trial court acknowledged that, pursuant to R.C. 124.34(B), SPBR's review was limited to determining whether appellant had violated the last change agreement.
