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 Springfield employer guaranteed any benefits to the employer in a contract when work began, they must make good on these. 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 required minimum amount of time spent working for the employer in order for the employee to receive benefits.

What Employee Benefits are Protected by Ohio law?

Those employers who provide medical plans for employees owe specific legal duties under Ohio law to those they cover. They must disclose important information about the health plans, and employees are entitled to a fair process in the treatment of their claims under the plan. For employees who lost their jobs, there are some laws that allow them to continue the health care plan they had with their previous employer while they actively look for a new job.
