McFee; Ohio Civil Rights Commission v. Nursing Care Management Of America, Inc. d/b/a Pataskala Oaks Care Center, 2010 Ohio-2744

In this appeal to the Supreme Court of Ohio, Dinsmore argued that an employment policy that imposes a uniform minimum length of service requirement for leave eligibility with no exception for maternity leave is not direct evidence of sex discrimination under Revised Code Chapter 4112, seeking reversal of the Fifth District Court of Appeals. After full briefing and oral argument to the Supreme Court of Ohio, the Supreme Court agreed establishing, as a proposition of law, that an employment policy that imposes a uniform minimum length of service requirement for leave eligibility with no exception for maternity leave is not direct evidence of sex discrimination under R.C. Chapter 4112.
