Hi i was recently terminated from my job on Monday. The reason I was Terminated was because I refused to do a certain job for my employer. The reason I refused my employer to do the job was because another employee was making me do his job for him. I believed this was very unfair and told my boss I won't accept an unfair work practice and he then told me to go home. What do you think am I within my rights to refuse an unfair work request from my employer.

The company would have to pay you severance unless it could show that what you did amounted to gross insubordination. It is possible that this could be viewed as insubordination at law, unless what they were asking you to do was patently unreasonable and outside of your job description.

I would highly recommend that you contact us at the number below to schedule a consultation.
