The majority of employment is "at will", meaning that an employer can fire you for nearly any reason, or even no reason at all. However, there are some exceptions to this rule, meaning that there are some cases where termination is not legally allowed. For example, an employer cannot fire someone for a discriminatory reason, such as gender, disability, religion, race or age. An employer also cannot fire someone for bringing legal claims against them, such as may be the case when there is a worker's comp claim, discrimination claim or sexual harassment claim. However, despite this, some employers do not follow the rules when it comes to who they are allowed to fire.
