What is the name of your state? NY
I have read in some of the other posts that you can be fired for any reason as long as it is not one of the prohibited/protected areas; race, religion, age etc. I have heard similar things in the past. My question is then why do employers go to such great lengths to document and create "paper trails" before terminating an employee. I have worked at organizations that really take careful and numerous steps (negative evaluations, and documentation of written warnings etc.) before firing someone and doing so because they fear lawsuits if everything is not done correctly.(I was told this by the supervisor who was trying to fire someone).
So, what is the actual truth?
Just wondering... thanks.
