In general, the rule is that “at will” employees can be fired at any time, for any reason, or for no reason at all. However, there are exceptions to the general rule. One exception is the law of retaliation. It is illegal for an employer to fire an employee because the employee engages in a certain type of legal activity. For example, it is unlawful to fire an employee because the employee reports the employer’s illegal conduct. It is also unlawful to fire an employee because the employee engages in a protected activity, such as testifying in an investigation, filing a lawsuit, or exercising a legal right. If you have been fired in violation of this law, the first step is to contact an employment lawyer like Cummings & Franck, P. C.
