Wrongful Termination in Ohio — wrongfully accused of misconduct

Quick background on my situation in Ohio — any input appreciated.

wrongfully accused of misconduct. I've been dealing with this for about 6 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have worked at this company for 1 years. My position is exempt and I do have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.

Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?

I practice in this area. Here's my take on the legal issues.

The legal framework here involves both federal and state law. At the federal level, the FMLA. Your state may provide additional protections.

One important thing — there are strict deadlines for filing these claims. Don't wait too long.

I had a similar issue and ended up consulting with an attorney. It was worth the $200-300 for the initial consultation just to understand my rights.

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's attorney general? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

In my case, it took about 4-8 months to resolve. The key was filing with the appropriate government agency.

Following this thread — I'm in a very similar situation. Would love to hear how it turns out.
