Problem:
Under the employment-at-will doctrine, an employer may terminate an employee for any reason, without cause unless that termination is prohibited by contract, public policy or state or federal employment discrimination or other laws.
1. Post one factual scenario in which an employer terminates an employment-at-will employee without becoming subject to a wrongful discharge action by the employee. In this scenario, assume that the employee is an exemplary performer and has done nothing in the course of doing his or her job contrary to company policy or rules prior to his or her termination. Also, assume that the employer is not downsizing as a reason for terminating the employee.
2. Post a second factual scenario, in which an employer terminates at employment-at-will employee from employment that subjects the employer to a wrongful discharge action by the employee.
3. Indicate for the second scenario in which Florida or federal court that the terminated employee would bring the wrongful discharge action.
