The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services created an online form for employers to report workers who "quit or refuse work when it is available."
The department that oversees unemployment claims in Ohio launched a site asking employers to report workers who"quit or refuse work when it is available" to enforce unemployment claims as the state opens some nonessential businesses.
Workers across the country have said they're afraid to go to work during the pandemic, as cases have yet to decline in many areas. Experts have warned that opening too soon could cause a spike in cases. Offices, construction, and manufacturing sites opened on Monday in Ohio, according to a report Cleveland.com. The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services sent emails on Friday to employers urging them to inform the department of workers who don't return to their jobs, according to the report.
The email told employers"Ohio law prohibits individuals from receiving unemployment benefits if they refuse to accept offers of suitable work, or quit work, without good cause," Cleveland.com reported. The website's URL ends in"covid-19-fraud." It asks for the employee's name, identification number, if the employee quit or refused to return to work, and if the business was deemed as essential, among other questions.

Ohio State Representative Refuses to Wear a Mask Because GodNino Vitale, a Republican state representative from Ohio, does not agree with the Ohio governor’s decision to require residents to wear face masks when entering businesses. The edict is fairly standard, after all, there is a global pandemic afoot, perhaps unbeknownst to Rep. Vitale, and in order to slow the spread of a deadly virus, folks across the United States are wearing face masks in public or staying at home until Judgment Day. But for Rep. Vitale, donning a mask is an unconscionable ask, akin to forcing Americans to abandon their religion. “This is the greatest nation on earth founded on Judeo-Christian Principles,” he wrote in an anti-mask rant announced on his Facebook page. “One of those principles is that we are all created in the image and likeness of God. That image is seen the most by our face. I will not wear a mask.”
