In the case of Pryor v. Dir., Ohio Dept. of Job & Family Servs., 2021-Ohio-4315, the Eighth District Court of Appeals held that unemployment benefits were properly denied to a former employee who did not inform their employer of an alleged medical condition and did not request work that conformed to the employee’s physical capabilities before quitting.
In this case, a former employee appealed an Ohio Unemployment Compensation Review Commission’s decision that denied the employee’s claim for unemployment benefits. The hearing officer concluded that the former employee left employment without just cause and was improperly receiving unemployment benefits.
The Court reasoned that the individual quit without just cause and was therefore not entitled to unemployment benefits.
