Re: Client wanted security guard removed
The employer should have investigated to determine whether the request was based upon a violation of law. If there is no statutory violation, assuming the employee was "at will", the employer would be free to terminate. If the employee was adaquate otherwise, I would suggest that he not be terminated, but instead laid off, subject to recall when a position becomes available. But there is no legal obligation to do so.
