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.

Unknown CourtNov 12, 2021

The trial court did not err by granting summary judgment for the school district on appellant's claim for wrongful discharge in violation of public policy. There was no evidence that the non-renewal of appellant's administrative contract was caused by his filing of a complaint with the Ohio Department of Education, and the evidence showed ample legitimate business justification for the non-renewal. Judgment affirmed.
