Do I have any legal right or are there steps I can take to deal with my employer who is secretly preparing to terminate my employment. They have already run background checks on the person they are replacing me with? I am of course not supposed to know any of this information.

Thank you for you question. The employer is entitled to end your job and replace you as long as they provide you with adequate termination pay and as long as they don't replace you for discriminatory reasons related to a protected ground such as age, race, disability, etc. If you are right and do receive a termination letter please contact us at the number below to schedule an appointment with one of our lawyers. We will work with you to assess your entitlements and recommend the course of action that best suits your circumstances.
