About Wrongful Termination Claims

Wrongful termination claims arise when an employee is fired in violation of federal or state law, public policy, or an employment contract. While most employment is at-will, employers cannot terminate employees for illegal reasons such as discrimination, retaliation, or exercising legal rights. These cases examine whether the stated reason for termination was pretextual.

Ohio Ct. App.Jan 31, 2025

The trial court did not err in dismissing appellant's claim for wrongful termination in violation of public policy, because the facts alleged by appellant failed as a matter of law to establish the clarity element of her claim. The trial court also did not err in dismissing appellant's declaratory judgment claim where it and the wrongful termination claim were indistinguishable. Judgment affirmed.
