Legal Question in Employment Law in Tennessee
Termination
Back in May I accidently saw a situation at work that no one is supposed to know about. I saw a customer sneaking out of my supervisors hotel room on a trip. After this, I began to have trouble from the co worker. I was written up in June for ''error ratio'' and give 30 days probation. After the 30 days, I was given a review and told that my work had improved significantly. I was even given a raise at the very end of July. Then on Sept. 1 was was fired. My question is, can you legally be fired after just receiving a raise?

Re: Termination
Tennesse is an employment at will state, like all the others. That means you work at the will or pleasure of the employer and can be fired with or without cause. Your best alternative is to find a job that pays as well as your old job and just show your former employer that you did not have to rely on him to earn a decent living.
