What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
I live in Virginia and I understand that we are an at will state, today I was fired from the company I've work for about 3 years for, my boss stated that "it's just not working out" I've received no written or verbal warnings which is stated in the company handbook for termination. I have not violated any policy that I am aware of and have no disciplinary action in my file. I came off vacation and was fired an hour before I was suppose to leave for the day.
I read something about an "implied contract" but need some clarification on it or even if I should go to the HR department or to seek out a lawyer. I'm just a bit confused because I was a manager at the company and hired and fired employees throughout my time and the company is strict on following the handbook. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
