Benefits and pension arrangements are part of both the hiring process as well the retirement or termination process. The state of Ohio has laws governing the way that employers are allowed to administer health benefits and pension plans. Recipients and beneficiaries of these packages can file their claims under the state laws.

While some benefits are paid by the employer, others involve voluntary employee contributions. Furthermore, employers often require that the employee work for a minimum amount of time with them before they are eligible to receive benefits. Under Ohio law, employers who provide employees with medical plans owe them certain legal duties. For example, they must disclose important health plan information, and employees must be provided with a fair process when reviewing their claims according to the plan.
