Hi I am from north carolina.
My fiance was working as a secretary at our local church. She had a 2 year contract and only started working there for a few months. She was always puntual and organized and did a well job. After she had the job a few months past and they said in order for her to keep her job I (her fiance) had to become a member. I didnt want to b/c we were not going to stay there, but now she was laid off , before the actual layoff date which was july 8th. Is this right? can they fire her becuase I didnt become a member? I know churches my have there own rules but this just seems kind of wrong and I wasnt sure if this was something any buisness couldnt do no matter what type of buisness.
Her mom by the way said it was illegal, and she was going to talk to a lawyer, and if it is illegal what could the outcome be if we wanted to take it a step further.
any help will be much appreciated.
thanks,
chris
