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.Aug 17, 2021

Trial court did not err in granting appellee/employer's motion for judgment on the pleadings as to appellant/employee's promissory estoppel claim where appellant's amended complaint failed to allege appellee made specific promises of future job security upon which appellant reasonably relied in leaving her former employment and accepting employment with appellee. It is not reasonable to construe vague and indefinite representations regarding appellant's qualifications and ability to succeed in the position as a clear and unambiguous promise of future job security. Judgment affirmed.
