Wrongful Job Termination
After being terminated from a job, you need to understand your rights. In New York, most employment is regarded as “at-will,” which means your employer can terminate employment for any or no reason at all. But, this doesn’t mean you have no rights!
termination is a
violation of a legal
right of the
employee.”
Employment discrimination laws prohibit job termination based on your age, gender, religion, national origin, race, disability, sexual orientation or marital status.
