Arkansas Wrongful Termination
Arkansas Wrongful Termination
Being let go from a job can feel unfair, and sometimes it’s even unfair in the eyes of the law. If you were let go for an unlawful reason, your dismissal could be considered wrongful termination and grounds for a lawsuit.
Most Arkansas jobs are “at-will,” which means employers and employees can terminate their working relationships at any time and for almost any reason – but there are exceptions to the standard that you should know about.
