Legal Question in Business Law in Ohio

Re: Attendance Policy

In Ohio normally one is an employee at will unless there is an employee handbook or a contract that modifies the employment at will doctrine. Under the employment at will doctrine, one can hire and fire an employee for any reason except for discriminatory reasons such as race, gender, religion, or familial. Bottom line, if you follow the handbook and it modifies the employee at will doctrine, feel free to take what action you feel appropriate against the employee.
