    If you lose your job, it is normal to want to know whether you can take action against your former employer. Different states have different laws regarding employee termination. In the state of Kentucky, for example, workers are employed on an “at-will” basis. In other words, most employers are allowed to terminate their workers at any time.  

    In many cases, employers may not need to provide a reason for firing their workers. So can you be fired for no reason in Kentucky? Oftentimes, yes. 

    Likewise, employees are legally permitted to quit their job at any time. They may quit for any reason or without a reason, as long as they do not violate a legal contract. 

    Unfortunately, workers in Kentucky have very few legal protections against toxic employers. Still, some instances of firing do qualify as “wrongful termination.” 

    Below, we will explore the answers to this question: “When can you be fired for no reason in Kentucky?” If you believe that you have been wrongfully terminated, it is critical to speak with a knowledgeable employment law attorney.  

    You should not be forced to deal with the costs and losses following a wrongful termination. The accomplished team at Morgan and Morgan will gladly provide you with a free legal consultation to discuss your wrongful termination case when you complete our online contact form.
