[Music] can an employer fire an employee for missouri for no good reason can you explain at will employment yes an employer now i'm about to say a bad word so you got to tune in an employer can fire you for a good reason a bad reason no reason at all or a mistake i'm getting to the bad word hold on um so like you can and a mistake so you so the your employer can think that you took money out of the cash register he can fire you she can fire you the next day they can figure out oh the 100 bill was under the drawer we missed it you didn't steal money you're good to go they don't have to hire you back they can keep you fired so or a mistake they can fire you for a good reason of road no reason or bad or batteries or no reason at all and it's not here it comes it's not illegal to be an as a boss okay you could be a jerk as a boss that's not illegal now there are the only things that you have the only protections you have are if you're a member of a union where you have a contract for employment you have appeal rights if but you also can't fire someone for being black uh or old or a woman or you can't sexually harass people and as of two weeks ago for being a gay or lesbian or lgbtq and which is a great decision out of the united states supreme court now that decision only applied to federal anti-discrimination laws so under the state law you can you know we have these different uh jurisdictions state law you there's employment at will good reason bad reason no reason all you can fire or mistake but missouri has a anti-discrimination law and the federal government and there's a federal anti-discrimination law that protects discrimination and employment you can't fire someone for pregnancy the pregnancy discrimination act you can't fire someone for being old the old older workers benefit protection act so all of those laws augmented the the the or the ade age discrimination the ada a uh anti-disability act uh age discrimination and employment act adea so there are federal and state laws and so if it so if you're fired from a job and it's not because of discrimination go get another job and go for unemployment if you think that you were fired because of discrimination uh sex age race of sexual orientation you have 180 days to file a charging discrimination with the missouri commission on human rights or the equal employment opportunity commission and that's a it's at spruce street one two two two spruce street and and you and then you go file don't just do the intake you gotta intake question you actually have to file actual charge discrimination i do some employment law i've done it for years and years and years i don't do as much uh i take so always have some cases going on oh here's another thing you can't do i forgot you so in your example maya if you have a workers compensation claim and you're injured on the job you hurt your back lifting something or you get your finger cut off or something and the next day you're and you work there forever the next day your employer fires you or the day after you file your work comp claim they fire you you have a retaliation claim for exercising your rights under the workers compensation law so there are laws to protect that as well there may be other nuances laws remember that we answer all questions for free at burger law so if you have an employment law question call us we'll ask we'll ask well answer your question if it's something that we can't legally represent you in we have a lot of friends who do this work we have friends who are some of the best employment discrimination law lawyers in the in the city uh and in our area in illinois missouri and anywhere um so so that's the law on employment at will you can have a contract of employment so let's say though that that that that your employer gives you a contract i agree to employ you for a year here's your salary so let's say you live in you live in new york and someone says i want to i want to bring you to st louis and hire you here you may say listen i'm going to spend all this money moving here and buying a new house give me a contract for a year so i know i know i ain't going to move here and get fired the next day which can happen there are cases about that so you can have a contract for employment and a union agreement in union contract is such a contract there are also sometimes protections for employment like if you work for the city of st louis you may have civil service protection or there are other protections unemployed before employment but remember just because you have an employment manual or employment or policy manual or employee handbook does that does not remove you from the employment they will statute that's the case is called johnson uh there's a lot of cases on this issue it's a highly litigated issue it's tough to make it's tough to win that because all of the all of the employment manuals say this does not change your employment at will status
