Yes, in GA, an employer may fire you for anything, so long as they are not motivated by Race, Age, Sex, National Origin, Religion, Handicap Georgia recognizes the doctrine of employment at will. Employment at will means that in the absence of a written contract of employment for a defined duration, an employer can terminate an employee for good cause, bad cause, a mistaken cause, or no cause at all, so long as it is not an illegal cause.

Generally, an employer can fire for any reason or no reason at all. Perhaps you should come in to discuss what else might be done to try to protect your job before you leave.

Probably because you have not stated any illegal reason for your termination.

This is not a legal problem, it is a employment problem. You are paid to work. Do not make the arrangements satisfactory to your employer when you cannot work your employment relationship can be terminated.
