Add Comment Question: Can I be fired for asking for a raise? Answer: My name is David Vaughan and I am an employment lawyer with Samfiru Tumarkin. Your employment cannot be terminated for "just cause" for asking for a raise. However, an employer does not need a reason to terminate the employment relationship. In that case, it would need to provide you with a severance package. Your Comment * Your Email * Your Name * Your City Note, your name, city and email is not displayed on the website.
