Re: Employment Law
Hello. The company has a right to terminate your employment, especially if you do not have a contract for employment. Illinois is an "at will" state and therefore may terminate an employee at any time as long as the reason is not discriminatory. If you believe that your termination is based upon race or gender, etc., I suggests that you contact EEOC. In the Chicago area that office is located at 500 W. Madison. I suggests that you check on-line for further details at the EEOC website.
Will be happy to answer additional questions that you may have on this topic.
