Ohio Employer's Law Blog

Even readers outside of Ohio will benefit from Clevelander Jon Hyman’s consistent employer-side posts and reading list roundups. Chicago-area lawyer and fan Tim Eavenson writes, “I made a joke once that my career motto was ‘Do whatever Jon Hyman does.’ When it comes to blogging, that’s not far off. Jon posts breaking news ... before I’ve even gotten my coffee. Even when there’s 50 posts on a topic by noon, Jon’s take will be unique. Style-wise, Jon’s writing is exactly what employers are looking for: professional and personable. He writes plainly and has fun, but never lets it get in the way of the point. Anybody who pays somebody else should be reading Jon’s blog.”
