At-Will Employment in Maryland

Under Maryland law, employment is “at will,” which means that employers can fire you any time, for any reason – even a bad reason, a wrong reason, or no reason. An employer can fire you because you did not follow a rule, because you were disrespectful, or because you showed up for work in a bad mood.

However, there are a few exceptions. An employer cannot fire you:

  • If you have a contract that limits the grounds upon which your employer can terminate your employment.
  • For any discriminatory reasons or for pursuing a discrimination claim.
  • For any reasons that are contrary to public policy. For example, an employer cannot fire you for filing a workers’ compensation claim or for engaging in “whistleblower” activity if you complain to government authorities about your employer. To win such a claim, you must prove that your employer violated a “clear mandate” of public policy when your employment was terminated.

How Long Do You Have to File a Wrongful Termination Lawsuit in Maryland?

What Constitutes Wrongful Termination?

To establish a strong wrongful termination claim against your former employer, you must have evidence that can prove you were fired or laid off based on illegal reasons.

If you have evidence of being discharged for the reasons below, you may have a claim:

  1. Your termination was a violation of federal and state anti-discrimination laws.
  2. Your termination was a violation of employment agreements (written and oral).
  3. Your termination was a form of retaliation because you “blew the whistle” on the employer for violating or planning to violate a state or federal law.
  4. Your termination was retaliation because you had complained of discrimination, sexual harassment, or a hostile work environment.

If you were released due to any of the illegal reasons mentioned above, please contact our wrongful termination attorney in Maryland at The Law Office of Andrew M. Dansicker.
