Employment Terms

Wrongful termination

In addition to "at will employment" courts have extended the measures to protect a worker's job and have set certain guidelines for terminating employees.

Reasonableness

Although a certain rule might have been stated, one still needs to ask the question, for instance, "Was it reasonable to fire an employee for selling CDs in the breakroom"?

Uniformity of the rule's application

It is unlawful to apply rules to singled-out individuals only. Inconsistencies in rule applications violate the Just-Cause context of employer and employee.
