    Default Can You Be Terminated Without Getting a Warning

    A Walmart employee in Virginia was fired unexpectedly, and was told that it was because her productivity was poor. She had never received any prior criticism and never received a warning. Can she be fired without an opportunity to know that something was wrong or a chance to improve?

    Default Re: Can You Be Terminated Without Getting a Warning

    Yes, as an at-will employee she may be terminated for any reason not prohibited by law, including no reason at all. It would likely have been a better business practice for whomever made the decision to fire her to have provided some direction, mentoring, warning or instruction before things reached the point of termination, but that's not legally required.
