Benefits and pension arrangements are part of both the hiring procedure as well the retirement or termination process. The state of Ohio has laws regulating 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.

Sometimes benefits are paid directly by the employer, while other instances of benefits require voluntary contributions from the worker. Also note that there can be a standard minimum amount of time spent working for the employer in order for the employee to receive benefits. Employers owe certain legal duties to the employees in providing them with medical plans. Under Ohio law, employers must disclose health plan information, and the employee is entitled to fair treatment in the processing of any claims under the medical plan.
