What will it take to get fired in NY?

Answer 1

In New York, an employee can be fired for various reasons, especially in at-will employment situations, where an employer can terminate an employee for any reason not protected by law. Grounds for termination can include poor job performance, misconduct, violation of company policies, or excessive absenteeism. However, firing an employee based on discriminatory reasons, such as race, gender, or disability, is illegal. Additionally, retaliation against an employee for reporting workplace violations can also lead to wrongful termination claims.
