Expert Advice When You Need It Most
My sister and I work in the same place. I handle the same money her and other employees handle. Is this a rightful termination?I was contacted by the Human Resource Manager on regards to a job openning handling money. I agreed to come in for an interview and after fingerprinting and drug tests I was hired. Since I had worked in the company before and had only been away for about 3 months, I was never separated from the company. Therefore, I ask if I needed to fill out an application and they said no. When I first applied to the company years before, my sister and two other relatives were not working there. I did not think anything of it since I had been contacted by the HR Manger herself to let me know about the openning.

Gender, age, religious belief, race etc. all are discriminatory reasons for which you cannot be legally fired and upon which you might base a wrongful termination suit.If you are an at-will employee, you can be fired for any reason or no reason, except unlawful discrimination. If you do not have an employment contract or union to represent you, your recourse is limited. Discrimination based on age, gender, race, religious beliefs etc.... may give rise to a different answer.

No one can know what the record is in the case because online we cannot find out any details. If you have a discrimination theory about retaliatory discharge or hostile workplace conditions you'll need a lawyer. Check with a lawyer in your locale to discuss more of the details.
