Legally, I don't believe they can ask. I think they are limited to asking if you were fired or quit. Or at least that's all the last employer is allowed to tell. You can explain it any way you see fit. Down sizing, the job didn't suit you, money, anything that doesn't reflect badly on you.

What do you use as reason for leaving a job if you were terminated?

You should take the "Honesty is the best policy approach" and say you were terminated. I'd recommend completing that section with the words, "Honestly, I was terminated." Ultimately, if you get an interview, the employer will most likely find out anyway, and it will give you an opportunity to explain the nature of the termination. However, you shouldn't speak negatively about the employer who terminated you, just give facts and the circumstances surrounding the termination. The prospective employer "should" appreciate your honesty. If you're qualified for the job, let your qualifications speak for you on the application.

How can I get my employee file to see what's in it and to find out the real reason for my termination?

You can't, ever. The employer's record belongs to the employer.If you were union, the employer might have to reveal some of it to the union. If you file an EEOC charge the employer might have to reveal part to EEOC or state EEO agency. YOU are not a party to those actions.However, you could try talking to your former employer. Ask for a meeting. Be very respectful; they don't have to meet with you, so being extra courteous will be to your benefit. If they give you a meeting, you could explain that you do not understand the reason for your termination and you would sincerely like to know so that you can improve and avoid the same mistake in the future. Again, they don't have to tell you anything, so if they do begin speaking you need to remain polite and respectful. Arguing will not get a positive result. If the employer explains the reason but you disagree, you could calmly state why you disagree then ask if you could write out your side and have it placed in your employment file. Remember that your ex-employer may be contacted by future employers, so the more you remain calm, pleasant, and professional in the meeting, the better chance that you might get a positive recommendation. If you lose your cool, then a negative recommendation would surely come because that is what the person will remember most about you.

Depends on the type of termination. If you were laid off, write laid off. If you were fired for something that was out of your hands, "not compatible with supervisor". If you were for for something that was your fault, best to be honest about it and a prayer wouldn't hurt.


How do you file a lawsuit against a former employer for wrongful termination without hiring an attorney?

Well it sucks but there is only one "at cause state" and is Montana. Every other state in this country is an "at will state", meaning that an employer/employee have the will to work policy, at any given time they can terminate with/without a reason, although they don't have to have a reason file unemployement and see what reason they give them and from there an investigation will be done, but if you feel you have been discriminated against then you file a complaint with the EEOC, then file a lawsuit against employer. The only way to prove wrongful termination is discrimanation.

Can you claim unemployment from your previous employer if you have accepted a new job and want to quit it?

Maybe, maybe not. Employment law is just not that simple. There is no way to completely answer your question without more information regarding your location, the length of time spent with each employer, the reason for termination of employment with your previous employer, and the reason you want to quit your new job. You need to tell an attorney your entire situation to get an accurate answer.


Can you sue your old job for firing you on false accusations?

In the US, only people and corporations can be sued. Intangible nouns, like jobs, cannot be sued. If your termination was unlawful, you may have a legitimate civil suit against the former employer. Legal grounds for termination vary by state and type of employment. If you think you have grounds for a wrongful termination action, speak with an attorney in your area that practices employment law. If you are union or not in an at will employment state, and the employer knew or had reason to know the allegations were false, you may have a claim.
