Wrongful Termination

In general, most employment arrangements are at-will, which means either party may terminate the relationship at any time. Employers have broad freedom in hiring and terminating their employees. Many terminations that may seem unfair or unwarranted may nonetheless be perfectly legal.

However, the law does place some restrictions on the at-will doctrine. Generally, you cannot be fired for reasons that are discriminatory or that violate certain public policies. For example, you cannot lose your job for discriminatory or retaliatory reasons. Depending on the circumstances of your employment, your employer likely cannot fire you for reporting violations or wrongdoings to outside agencies. Some employment contracts also provide that employees cannot be terminated except for just cause.
