Can I sue my employer for firing me for no reason?

By Zippia Team - Dec. 7, 2022

No, you cannot sue your employer for firing you for no reason, unless you live in Montana. The other 49 states have "at-will" employment, guaranteeing that employers can fire employees and employees can quit their jobs whenever they like.

The only time you can sue your employer for firing you is when they fire you for a discriminatory reason, fire you for failing to perform illegal acts, violate your employment contract, or fire you as retaliation for whistleblowing.
