An employer can terminate an employee at any time for any reason so long as the reason is not in violation of the civil rights and protected categories such as race, age, gender, sexual orientation, disability, national origin and other protected activities.

If you feel you have been terminated wrongfully based on a protected category or class, or your employer retaliated against you for speaking up against a wrongful activity you should consult an attorney for an evaluation of your matter. It’s important to consult with a qualified attorney as soon as you are terminated or experience any other adverse employment action. A legal professional will tell you what your rights are and the best way to proceed with your case.
