Wrongful Termination in New York

Employees in New York are considered to work at-will.  At-will employment means that employers can hire or fire employees for any reason or no reason at all.  The reason, however, cannot be an unlawful reason.  Because of employment at-will in New York, unlawful reasons are created by the passage of laws so there are only a few reasons which may considered wrongful termination in New York.  An employer simply making up a reason, framing an employee, or believing one employee’s story over another, are generally not wrongful terminations.  These acts, however, may be evidence of a wrongful termination and be used as evidence of discrimination or retaliation.
