Employers have the right to make business decisions to preserve or protect their reputation and bottom line. Prudent business decisions sometimes include firing, laying off or demoting employees. What employers cannot do, however, is terminate employees for illegal reasons such as the following:
- Racial discrimination
- Age discrimination
- Religious discrimination
- Gender discrimination (usually illegal)
- Retaliation when employees take time off for reasons allowable according to the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
- Retaliation when employees report sexual harassment on the job
- Retaliation against whistleblowers
