FAQ
Virginia is an employment-at-will state; this means the employer may terminate any employee at any time, for any reason, or for no reason. As a general rule, therefore, the employee has no right to challenge the termination. There are a few very limited exceptions.
Were you asked to do something illegal at work, or something you believe to be contrary to public policy in Virginia? If your refusal to take part in illegal activity results in your termination, you may have a claim of wrongful termination against your employer.
A plaintiff has two years to file a common law claim for wrongful termination in Virginia but only one year to file claims under the Fraud and Abuse Whistleblower Protection Act. As always, you should move as quickly as you can to protect your rights so that you are not barred by any statute of limitations.
If your termination violates state or federal employment laws, it may be deemed wrongful. Common reasons for wrongful termination include discrimination based on race, gender, age, disability, religion, national origin, or sexual orientation.
A wrongful termination claim must show that an action on the employer's behalf violated an official policy established by either regulation or statute.
Yes, Virginia follows the doctrine of “at-will” employment, meaning that employers can terminate employees at any time and for any reason, as long as it is not prohibited by law or public policy.
