R. Christopher Reade
Employees in Nevada are presumed to be at-will; thus an employer can dismiss an at-will employee with or without cause, so long as the dismissal does not offend this state's public policy. State of Nevada v. Dist. Ct. (Anzalone), 118 Nev. 140, 151, 42 P.3d 233, 240 (2002).  However terminating employees based upon race is not a permissible reason and is a violation of both Federal and Nevada State law.   Under NRS 613.330(1), it is an unlawful employment practice to discharge any individual because of his or her race, color, sex, religion, sexual orientation, age, disability or national origin.
