Report Link Ohio Appeals Decision Highlights the Necessity of a Carefully Drafted Drug-Free Workplace Policy.Baker Hostetler LLP - August 13, 2009 An Ohio appellate court recently granted an employee’s application for temporary total disability benefits, despite the employee’s positive post-injury drug test. The court based its decision on the language of the employer’s drug-free workplace policy which varies from that of the Ohio Revised Code. This decision—State of Ohio ex rel. Clevenger v. Ohio Staff Leasing, Inc., Slip Opinion No. 08AP-828, 2009-Ohio-3085 (issued June 25, 2009) (“Clevenger”)—raises issues Ohio employers should consider when drafting a drug and alcohol policy. Report Link Ohio Workplaces Must Be Smoke Free As Of December 7, 2006 Jackson Lewis LLP - December 07, 2006 Ohio employees will breathe easier on December 7, 2006, which is the date when Issue 5, a statewide ban on smoking in public places, takes effect. The smoking ban affects all Ohio employers, public and private. The ramifications of this ban are significant. As of December 7, 2006, it is illegal to smoke not only inside Ohio buildings but also in areas immediately adjacent to any entrances or exits. The law specifically bans smoking in the following areas: restrooms, storage areas, stairwells, garages, warehouses and employer-owned vehicles. Smoking is prohibited in these areas at all times. Fines for employers who violate this law range from $100 to $2,500 per violation. Report Link Responding to Security Breaches Under Ohio's and Pennsylvania's New Notice-of-Security-Breach Statutes and Other States' Notice Laws.Littler Mendelson, P.C. - March 13, 2006 Beginning in February 2005, the media reported a flood of data security breaches involving some of the nation's largest financial institutions, most respected corporations, and major universities. According to a chronology maintained by the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse, more than 125 security breaches were reported between February 2005 and February 2006, putting at risk the personal information of more than 50 million Americans. These security breaches exposed the affected individuals to identity theft and were very costly for many of the organizations that experienced them, resulting in disruption of business activities, loss of reputation, and damage to employee morale. While Congress debated many bills in response, it enacted none.
