The Commonwealth is an "employment at will" state and, as such, an employee can be fired at any time without cause, subject only to the wrongful termination doctrine.There is no Federal "wrongful termination law" per se. Rather there are a variety of Federal laws that, if violated by employers when discharging employees, might constitute wrongful termination under state law. Collectively, such laws are generally called wrongful termination laws or wrongful discharge laws. Please feel free to contact my office for a free initial consult based upon the facts of your specific situation :))
