Re: Unfair layoff

The sad truth is that employers don't have to be fair. They have the right to make personnel decisions as they see fit, as long as the decisions are not motivated by an unlawful reason. Employees are generally terminable at the will of an employer.

If you think the actual reason for why you lost your job is an unlawful one, meet with an experienced employment law attorney and be prepared to provide evidence in support of your belief.
