Title VII Rights Act of 1964 forbids employers with 15 or more employees to discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex, religion or national origin (EEOC, 1997). This law applies to federal, state and local employers. The above conditions may not be used to refuse to hire or for terminating an individual or in other words discriminate against any individual (EEOC, 1997). In order to release an employee in any of the above categories the employer must have documentation based on quantity or quality of production and the employer can also make this decision based on results of a professionally developed ability test, which cannot be used to discriminate (EEOC, 1997). If an employee feels they have been let go for an unjust reason they can file a formal

The plaintiff (Southern Prestige Industries, Inc.) initiated an action against the defendant (Independence Plating Corp.) in a North Carolina state court for a breach of contract. The plaintiff alleged that defects in the defendant’s anodizing process caused the plaintiff’s machine parts to be rejected by Kidde Aerospace. The defendant being a New Jersey corporation and having its only office and all of its personnel situated in the state filed a motion to dismiss citing lack of personal jurisdiction. The trial court denied the motion and the defendant appealed arguing that there were insufficient contacts to satisfy the due process of law requirements

Texas is an at will employment state, which means that an employer or an employee can terminate work without having to provide a reason for termination (Runkel, n.d.). Although another interpretation of this is, “in an at-will employment situation, either party may terminate the employment at any time for any reason except discrimination” (Johnston, 2002, para. 3). Appears to be simple, yet it is more complex than it sounds. After reviewing the case Laredo Medical Group v. Mirelas, it becomes clear that just because by law, a reason does not have to be given to the employer or employee for termination of work, the reason for termination is relevant. Josefina Mirelas sued Laredo Medical Group under the accusation that they terminated her employment

Bernardin & Russell (2013) indicate that company policies should be reviewed prior to terminating an employee. Terminating Jeannette Lewis would not be advised to due the risk of litigation related to the violation of procedures outlined in the disciplinary policy (Pedersen, 2008). According to Pedersen (2008), “Handbooks often serve to shape employee expectations about disciplinary procedures and job security, and thus many courts have found them to be binding under an implied contract theory. As Paul Berks summarizes, ‘‘[u]nder the ‘handbook exception,’ an employer could unwittingly limit his ability to terminate an employee by disseminating a handbook that granted to employees the rights on the job beyond those traditionally recognized

There are legal protections in place for wrongful discharge and may be classified as arising from grounds of constitutional, statutory or common law regulations. As with all laws, some employees are only protected if employed in the public sector, unionized sector, or those employees who hold individual employment contracts. All things considered, the public policy exception to employment-at-will holds employers liable in tort for wrongful discharge when employees are terminated for taking actions that public policy requires. This type of wrongful discharge claim is recognized in about 40 states and if the courts allow the terminations to stand, it would offend and undermine public policy. In summary, employers cannot legally terminate employees

In the University of Phoenix simulation (2012), it stated that in 20 states, including Vermont, employers can fire anyone for any reason except for things like age, gender, race or disabilities. Pat was fired for unsatisfactory performance therefore; they had a right to terminate him. For example, the organization has documentation signed by Pat stating that the organization has the right to terminate the employment at any time.

Being that the lower court left out the world material when stating its opinion provoked Mills Construction to appeal. Mills suggests that without a finding of material breach, Double Diamond was not entitled to recover any damages. (Kubasek 454) On the other hand the courts argued that the material Mills supplied through ABC construction, which was Mills stakeholders, made it impossible for the proper work to be complete.

Mentor's government case is in light of area 43(a) of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. Sec. 1125(a) (1988), which gives a common activity for the individuals who accept they have been harmed, or are prone to be harmed, by the utilization of a "bogus assignment of beginning" on a decent or administration. In spite of the fact that authorized as a feature of the Trademark Act, this procurement capacities as a government law of uncalled for rivalry for unregistered merchandise. Area 43(a) stretches out assurance to an item's "exchange dress"- - the aggregate picture of a decent as characterized by its general organization and outline, including size, shape, shading, composition, and illustrations. See Stormy Clime, 809 F.2d at 974. For this situation,

Employment ‘at will’ is a ground the employer may try to argue that the discharge of the two employees were within management’s legal rights. In the United States, unlike many countries, employment is “at-will” in all states excluding Montana (ncsl.org.n.d.). This Doctrine give employers the right to discharge an employee at any time with or without a reason and the employee the right to leave a job at any time with or without cause (Henson.2015.p556). Of the many freedoms afford to citizens and authorized worker in the U.S., this Doctrine protects the freedom of contract. In Adair v. United States, the court affirmed the importance of freedom of contract, as a right under the Fifth Amendment. Additionally, the court stated laws prohibiting

The employment-at-will doctrine states that an employee can be fired or released from a company for cause or no cause at all. The employee also has the right to quit a job for any reason. Under this legislation, neither the employer or employee incurs “adverse legal consequences” (NCSL, 2014). There are three exceptions that are observed by the law to include a dismissal that “violates a state’s public policy, where there is an implied contract for employment, or where there is an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing” (Muhl, 2001, p4). People cannot be fired based on the “individual’s race, color, religion,

The first question is what the obligations are for each party. Macy’s had the rights to sell exclusive products of Martha Stewart, and she would supply Macy’s with her products creating a share of sales between the two parties. The next question is that a contract existed. They signed an agreement in 2006 staying all the conditions. If there was any modification or changes in the contract about the sale of the exclusive products, there would not be altercations between other parties. There will be monetary damages for Macy’s because it will not have exclusive products anymore, so other people can go to JC Penney’s stores and buy the same product even at a lower price. With all of this information collected, I can assume that Martha Stewart breached the contract with Macy’s. Martha Stewart had an agreement with Macy’s to sell exclusive products of her brand, and then she signed a different contract with JC Penney to sell products of her brand too while the original contract was still in process. It is evident that if I have the rights to sell exclusive products and my supplier agreed with me in a contract, I will not expect that other stores will sell the same products. Martha Stewart and JC Penney did not act correctly and broke the original contract, so the jury will be able to make the best remedy and solution for the affected party, in this case

Traditionally, companies in the United States have possessed the right to terminate their employees at will for any reason, be it good or bad. The Employment-At-Will doctrine encompasses all employees who are not safeguarded by express employment contracts that state that they may be discharged only for good cause. "Good cause" constraints are typically a part of collective bargaining agreements negotiated by employee unions; nonunion workers rarely have this form of protection. The Employment-At-Will

This paper will discuss the legal issues in Case Example D. In the case of Daniel Boone versus Zoom Car Company, the legal issue involves Daniel Boone suing Zoom Car Company for medical costs he endured from a severe beating when using a defective product that the company provided. The defendant, Zoom Car Company, is an automobile manufacturing company that offers its customers a number of extra features, including a compass that is installed on the cars dashboard.

7 This is one of the applications that can be lodged when being unfairly dismissed. There are many things that can be cover by Unlawful Termination, which include, race, sex, age, physical or mental disability, family or carer’s responsibilities, pregnancy and religion.6 The Unfair dismissal legislation, workers compensation laws, anti- discrimination laws, or disability discrimination laws cover these employees. 7
