Wrongful Termination
While some employees may be contractual, most employees are “at-will” which means that an employer can terminate him at any time for any reason, or no reason, as long as it is not illegal.
Federal and state statutes make certain reasons for terminating individuals illegal. Not only are there statutory exceptions, but employees may also have a breach of contract claim. In addition to verbal promises, the Employee Handbook or Policy may create a binding contract giving the employee particular rights, such as requiring an employer to follow a particular procedure in disciplining or terminating employees.
The law in this area is particularly complex and is constantly changing. As an employment civil rights firm, Case + Sedey, LLC has extensive experience in navigating the nuances of the law for the protection of employee’s rights.
