(A) An employer shall not interfere with, restrain, or deny the exercise or attempted
exercise of a right established under this chapter. (B) An employer shall not discharge, fine, suspend, expel, discipline, or discriminate
against an employee with respect to any term or condition of employment because of
the employee's actual or potential exercise, or support for another employee's exercise,
of any right established under this chapter. This division does not prevent an employer from taking an employment action that
is independent of the exercise of a right under this chapter. (C) An employer shall not deprive an employee who takes leave pursuant to section 5906.02 of the Revised Code of any benefit that accrued before the date that leave commences.

a collective bargaining agreement or employee benefit plan that limits or requires
an employee to waive the rights established under this chapter. An employer shall comply with any collective bargaining agreement or employee benefit
plan that provides leave benefits similar to the type established under this chapter
that are greater than the leave benefits established under this chapter. (F) An employer may provide leave benefits greater than those established under this
chapter.
