Ohio is an at-will employment state, meaning either party can terminate the relationship at any time for any lawful reason. This contract reinforces that status while satisfying OH Rev.

The contract includes indemnification and liability limitation clauses. These protect the employer and employee by outlining specific reporting procedures for damage, distinguishing between normal wear-and-tear and negligence, and requiring credible evidence for theft accusations before liability is assigned.
