Appellate Practice Attorney serving New York, NY
Absent a contract which says otherwise (e.g. employee can only be fired for good cause), or has a specific term (e.g. a 2 year employment contract) or a statutory prohibition (e.g. laws prohibiting firing someone based on their gender, race, whistleblowing activities, etc.), an employee can be fired at any time for any reason.
