Termination
On November 22nd, our management class discussed termination. When the employee and the company have no contracts or unions, companies have the right to terminate whenever they want. If there is a contract involved companies have to be very careful when terminating employees, because the employee can file a wrongful discharge. The company has to have clear evidence of certain conditions. The employee can be discharged without legal problems if there is misconduct, lack of qualifications, or elimination of the position. The contracts are there not to only protect the company, but the employee as well. If the company doesn’t have any evidence, it is most likely that the employee will win the wrongful discharge case. As a future employer this is good to know so that I can make smart decisions and not get the company I am working for into any trouble.
