Wrongful termination

[donaw]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Montana
My husband was let go from his job after coming back from vacation because his employer "heard" he was looking for another job. First of all, we absolutely were NOT, and secondly he never gave another reason why he would be let go from his job. Is this legal???

Just one second. Montana is not strictly at "at will employment" state. This situation may be an exception to the general rule.

OP, how long had he worked there?

It would be legal in any other state, but it may not be so in Montana. Montana is the one and only state which does not consistantly follow the at will doctrine.

Donaw, how long had your husband worked for this employer? There's a reason I'm asking.

This might well be the first time I've actually seen someone from Montana post here! I didn't think anyone actually lived there

Been doing this for a very long time. I first started handling multi-state benefits in 1979.

And I've been doing it even longer. I got my first full-time payroll job in 1977.
