Legal Question in Employment Law in Kansas
Unfair job termination
My employer terminated me Saturday 11/11/00 by phone. I was to have a meeting with them Friday at 5, I stayed until 5:30. According to the policy and procedures of this workplace, they did not follow any of the policies laid out. Can I contest?

Re: Unfair job termination
You cannot contest on the grounds that the employer did
not follow its own policies and procedures unless
you have a written contract or an employee handbook
which is considered a contract. Kansas is an "employment
at will" state. Absent a contract, you must show that
you were terminated because of your race, sex, age, a
disability, for having a workers compensation claim,
or for blowing the whistle on your company. If you
think you fall into one of these protected categories,
you can call me, toll free, at 877-357-0333.
