No if you are off work due to a injury sustained there they can not terminate your employment that would be illegal.
An employer can dismiss an employee at any time for any reason or no reason, except when the firing violates a statute or contract.
Yes, the employer can dismiss the employee without notice at certain cercumstaces. This can be for theft.
No, your employer must take other facts into consideration. If the employee is absent on an ongoing basis and not able to perform their duties and in addition is older, then the employer may have reasons to dismiss the employee. It would have nothing to do with age.
If the employee did not commit the crime at work, the employer may do nothing or may dismiss the employee, as it wishes. If the crime happened at work or the employee gave a false ID to get hired (as millions of illegal aliens do) the employer cooperaqtes with law enforcement to investigate the crime.
Yes, the employer does not need a reason to dismiss you, unless you are the rare employee with a contract.
Yes. Most employees are at-will meaning they can be fired at any time for any or no reason. Electronic defamation is actually a very good reason. Contract employees are subject to the terms of their contract - but electronic defamation is probably covered as an acceptable reason for termination.
Generally, unless you have an employment contract, your employment relationship is considered as "at-will" which means that either the employer or the employee may break the relationship with no liability. In fact, the doctrine recognizes the right of the employer to dismiss his employee "for good cause, or bad cause, or no cause at all." Thus, an employer can terminate an employee even a text message is sent off the clock -- the only exception would be if the termination was based on discrimination, breach of contract, retaliation, or if it against public policy.
No, it is not. Dismiss is a verb, which can mean release (a class, a subordinate) or ignore (a threat, a court case), or terminate, fire (an employee).
The manager decided to dismiss the employee due to repeated violations of company policy.
No, Impossible
She will have to present sufficient evidence that she was sexually harassed. If the state she was employed in is a "right-to-work" state she may have a doubly difficult time of it. In a right-to-work state the employer can dismiss an employee at will for any reason, even for no reason.
Absolutely !... Alcohol dulls the senses, slows reaction times and reduces a person's morality. Additionally, it slurs a person's speech. Not exactly the type of person you would want working in your organisation !
