General Firing Questions
- I just got fired from my job. Can my employer fire me for no apparent reason?
- I am in a union. What can I do to find out if I was fired without ‘just cause’?
- I am a public sector employee. What protection do I have against being fired unjustly?
- I am not in a union, and I am not a public sector employee. Is there anything that can protect me from being fired unjustly?
- What kind of state public policy might an employee refuse to violate?
- Does my employer have to give me two weeks notice before he lets me go?
- My employer told me he would not fire me as long as I was doing a good job. Will this hold up in court? What if it is written in my employee's handbook?
- Does my employer have to give me severance pay when s/he lets me go?
- My employer offered me severance, but says I must sign a waiver that says I am giving up my right to sue. Is this legally binding?
- What is unemployment insurance?
- How do I know if I am entitled to unemployment insurance?
- What circumstances will disqualify me from receiving unemployment insurance?
- How do I apply for unemployment insurance?
- How much does unemployment insurance pay, and for how long?
- If I am offered a job and refuse it, will I lose my unemployment insurance benefits?
- What if I move out of state to look for work. Can I still receive unemployment insurance benefits?
- Do I automatically lose my health insurance when I lose my job?
- I interviewed with another company, my current boss found out, and fired me when he learned of the interview. (it was company policy.) Later I found out that the interviewer had passed on the information which I had specifically requested be held in confidence. Now I have no job, am short on funds, and angry! Do I have any recourse against the interviewer for such a breach?
- During my free time I have a computer consulting business. The consulting I do does not conflict with my present 9-to-5 job; however, my boss tells me that I must give it up or risk termination. Can he fire me? Can he tell me what to do outside of my 9-to-5 hours?
- I've worked for several years on the swing shift and have had facial piercings for the last 13 months. Now i'm told there is a new company policy against wearing facial piercings and if I don't remove them, I will receive verbal warnings and then termination. Can my employer just enact such a policy?
- What does it mean to be a ‘whistleblower’?
- PA -- My supervisor did not like me and constantly critized my work. I have now been fired. Am I entitled to collect unemployment benefits?
- PA -- I was fired because I refused to do something illegal. Do I have a right to sue my employer?
- As a sales associate, my pay is totally dependent on my commissions. Recently the company changed its compensation structure which effectively reduces my pay big-time. In the past year I doubled my goal, but with this new structure i'm going to lose more than half. Can this be considered constructive termination?
