TERMINATING EMPLOYEES

Q: What rights do I have under law to terminate employment?

A: Nebraska is an “Employment at Will” state. This means that the employer and the employee have equal rights to terminate employment at any time. Neither party is obligated to give notice or cause for termination. If it is evident that an employee was terminated because of age, race, sex, etc., the employee should contact the Nebraska Equal Opportunity Commission at (402) 471-2024 or (800) 642-6112.

Note, this is Nebraska law. Other state laws may vary.
