Jurisdiction (from the Latin ius, iuris meaning "law" and dicere meaning "to speak") is the practical authority granted to a formally constituted legal body or to a political leader to deal with and make pronouncements on legal matters and, by implication, to administer justice within a defined area of responsibility. The term is also used to denote the geographical area or subject-matter to which such authority applies.

Jurisdiction draws its substance from public international law, conflict of laws, constitutional law and the powers of the executive and legislative branches of government to allocate resources to best serve the needs of its native society.

A. No, Ohio has no jurisdiction over a New York entity unless that entity does business in Ohio or has a connection to Ohio. Courts have ruled that even a slight connection is enough. If your employer mailed correspondence, to you, in Ohio, that can establish a connection and show that they do business or have done business in Ohio. I filed a lawsuit against a California manufacturer which had sent me a quote for a product and then refused to honor the quote. I filed a district court action in Michigan, for the profit I lost, and sent the summons and complaint to the California company via registered mail return receipt requested.
