Terminated for Something I Didn't Do

There is a text book, Employment Relationships: Law and Practices, which has an annual supplement listing the various employment at will exceptions for each state. For example, Employment Relationships lists Louisiana as recognizing a public policy exception in connection with filing a workers’ compensation claim. (It also lists Nebraska and New York as recognizing a public policy exception in connection with whistle blowing.)

In addition, in answering the OP above, I glanced at the following 2004 article by David Autor, John Donohue, III, and Stewart J. Schwab, “The Employment Consequences of Wrongful-Discharge Laws: Large, Small, or None at All?” This article states, in relevant part, “Most state courts have adopted at least one wrongful discharge law in the last three decades. Three states (Florida, Georgia, and Rhode Island) have never adopted an exception, while 10 states recognize all three exceptions [,i.e., public policy, good faith and implied contract].”

In summary, the development of employment at-will exceptions remains fluid. An aggrieved employee would want experienced counsel to determine which exceptions, if any, exist in his or her state.

Thank you.

As far as I can tell, OP hasn't named his/her state. If he/she isn't in the US, then all the advice he/she has received is wrong.
