Answered 8 years and 9 months ago by attorney Jay A. Rigdon   |   1 Answer

Is it legal to fire an employee for not getting along with their director?

Answered 8 years and 9 months ago by Mr. Christopher Edward Clark (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Labor and Employment
Dear Anonymous,   It is not illegal to fire an employee because they don't get along with their director.  However, it is illegal to fire someone for applying for FMLA.  The difficulty often is proving that the reason you were terminated was because you applied for FMLA and not some other pretextual reason offered by the employer.  If you believe you have been discriminated against for excercising your right to Family Medical Leave, you should file a Charge of Discrimination with the EEOC.  There are deadlines for filing a charge.  If you have additional questions or would like to speak with a employment attorney, please feel free to give me a call.   Chip Clark...
