Generally, if he quit then he can't collect unemployment. There are exceptions -- for example, because of a cut in hours or pay or lieu of getting terminated.

If your employer reduces your work hours to less than your full-time work week and you earn less than $424/week, you may be partially unemployed and eligible for benefits.

Employment in Ohio is "at-will," meaning that an employer can terminate an employee for any reason or no reason, as long as it's not in violation of a law such as the anti-discrimination laws. Based on the information provided the hospital could let you go for breaking policy; however, if the hospital has a progressive discipline policy that if follows for other employees but didn't in your case then the question is why not. If the reason is because of your race or another protected trait then you have a discrimination case. You should consult with an employment lawyer.

Answer to non-compete and material change to employment
You should consult with an employment attorney in your area. An argument could be made that there was a failure of consideration for the non-compete when your employer cut your pay; however, before accepting a job that might violate your non-compete provision you need to consult with an employment attorney.posted Nov 2, 2015 10:41 AM [EST]
