A section of the contract i signed reads "The Employer may terminate this agreement and the Employees employment at any time, without notice or payment in lieu of notice for sufficient cause." I thought it had to be one or the other? Is this a legal contract or have I signed all my rights away? They will point to this as to why I was fired with no notice and no compensation. I struggle with anxiety ( have a prescription for clonazepam) and have recently been put on blood pressure medication due to the amount of stress the job gave me. I had a meeting with a co-worker as witness where I expressed this to them.

Thank you for reaching out to our firm.

We would have to review the contract as a whole to provide a more fulsome response, though companies can terminate employees for just cause where it exists. That said, just cause is typically a very difficult thing for a company to establish.
