Legal Question in Employment Law in Ohio
Dismissal from employment
I recently had a employee talk with me and Dr. in regards to employee terminating her employment with us. We ask her to do put in writing her intention to terminate her employment with us. She agreed to do this and return with it on the next day. We how ever have not heard from her to this date which has been 4 days of no call or no show. Our office policy states three consist days of no call and no show are reasons for dismissal. My question is this person eligible for unemployment?

This will depend on the reason for the termination. If with cause or without cause. I would issue a letter to the employee confirming she was terminated and state what the reason in. If the reason is contained in a handbook, etc., I would cite the provision. Then, if you need to contest an unemployment claim later, this letter will be evidence. More importantly, if the employee fails to respond to the letter or dispute it, her silence can be deemed an admission that everything in the letter is true. Send the letter by certified mail so you can prove she received it.

It depends on reason she is resigning.
