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.

Additionally, if a Mentor employer guaranteed any benefits to the employer in a contract when work began, they must make good on these. Furthermore, employers bear the risk of any investments that are made on behalf of an employee according to a matched contribution plan.

What Employee Benefits are Protected by Ohio law?

Employers who provide medical plans to their employees owe them specific legal duties according to the laws of Ohio. They are required to disclose any important details of the medical coverage, and employees who file a claim are entitled to fair treatment in the processing of their complaint.
