New York is an "employment at will" state. This means that an employer can fire whoever they want, when they want, for whatever reason they want, with limited exceptions, as long as it is not for a discriminatory purpose. The two main exceptions are when an employee is covered by a collective bargaining agreement or has a written contract for employment. It is illegal for an employer to retaliate against employees for exercising these basic rights. Retaliation includes firing, suspending, demoting, disciplining or otherwise discriminating against an employee for exercising these rights.
Employment law deals with issues regarding sexual harassment, discriminations, contract disputes and wrongful termination in the workplace in New York.
