Legal Question in Employment Law in Illinois

Contractual Obligations

When I was first hired to work with this organization, it was never indicated in my contract or otherwise that a vehicle was necessary to obtain or maintain employment. Performance reveiws have been issued, and my supervisor has revised my review because I do not own a car. Is this legal if it was never in my initial contract with this organization?

Re: Contractual Obligations

Hello. The law has not been broken to warrant

any criminal prosecution of your employer, but

you may have a claim for wrongful discharge if

you get fired for not having a vehicle. If this

was not in your employment contract, I believe

you can file a lawsuit if your employment is

terminated. Will be happy to discuss this with

you further.
