In New York's competitive workforce, keeping a job is a necessity. Also, job security, income and benefits are a big help for New Yorkers and their families because the uncertain economy has yet to stabilize. However, if an employee is unexpectedly laid off from work without a specified reason, a worker will no doubt wonder if the firing was legal or if it may be a possible case of wrongful termination. It is important that a terminated worker know the nuances of wrongful discharge to find out the facts of the firing and formulate any possible response.
