Michigan is an employment at will State, meaning that you can be fired at any time for any reason, as long as it is not based on discrimination, retaliation, or is in violation of an employment contract. Occasionally an employer can be found liable to an employee after a termination if there is evidence that the employer promised the employee (in a written personnel policy manual or verbally) that the employee would only be terminated "for cause." Finally, an employer can become liable to an employee if action is taken in retaliation for an employee's exercising legal rights to file a workers compensation claim, for example, or claiming time off under the Family Medical Leave Act. For more information on what constitutes discrimination, please visit http://www.eeoc.gov/.
