Legal Question in Employment Law in New York

Re: firing without cause

Unless you have a contract term with your employer, New York is an employment-at-will state which allows your employer to fire you with or without cause and it allows an employee to quit for any reason.

See: http://www.labor.state.ny.us/workerprotection/laborstandards/faq.shtm#14

There are exceptions, of course, and one is age discrimination. If you feel you have a case for age discrimination, I suggest you contact an employment law attorney immediately for consultation.
