Legal Question in Employment Law in Ohio

Termination Denied Unemployment

My claim for unemployment was

denied because my former employer

states that I provoked a verbal

argument. The determination reads: The employer discharged the

claimant for provoking an argument

with a supervisor. Facts establish

that the claimant's

actions demonstrated a disregard for

standards of behavior which an

employer has a right to expect.

Ohio's legal standard that determines

if a discharge is with just cause is

whether the claimant's acts,

omissions, or course of conduct were

such that an ordinary person would

find the discharge justifiable.

After a review of the facts, this

agency finds that the claimant was

discharged with just cause under

Section 4141.29(D)(2)(a) , Ohio

Revised Code. Therefore, no benefits

will be paid until the claimant

obtains employment subject to an

unemployment compensation law,

works six weeks, earns .....

I do not feel that I provoked the

argument and stated this in my

initial claim. I would like to appeal.

What can I do to possibly reverse the

decision?
