North Carolina is an employment-at-will state and an employer can fire you for refusing to perform a job. If you feel that there is a workplace safety issue and that led to your termination, you can contact the NC Department of Labor at NCLABOR.com. You can also file a wage complaint for your last check with them if the check is not recieved by the next payday on which it is due.
