Legal Question in Employment Law in Colorado

Sorry about losing the job. Did you have a contract that provided they can only fire you for good cause? If you don�t have a contract then you have what is termed �at-will� employment. That means the employee or employer may terminate the employment relationship with or without cause at any time, with or without advance notice.

Therefore, they don�t need a reason and can terminate you even if the reason is baseless. Absent other facts that indicate that this termination was wrongful because you had a contract that only allowed good cause termination or this was termination was in violation of public policy (race, gender, religion, so on), you do not appear to have a good case for wrongful termination. The issue of misclassification may be relevant. You don't describe what this abuse is about.

It is strongly recommended that you contact a local attorney to review this matter.
