FAQ
While you are not required to let your employee know, in writing, that they have been or will be terminated, you do need to give them some unemployment info, and a written record could save you from having to scramble later.
However, before filing a lawsuit for wrongful termination, employees in Nevada must first file a complaint with the Nevada Equal Rights Commission (NERC) or the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the state and federal agencies responsible for enforcing anti-discrimination laws in the workplace.
Unlike some states, Nevada is an “employment at will” state. This means that an employer can fire whoever they want, when they want, for whatever reason they want, with limited exceptions, as long as it is not for a discriminatory purpose.
Following are the essential steps involved in writing a proper termination letter: Start with the date. Address the employee. Make a formal statement of termination. Specify the date of termination. Include the reasons for termination. Explain the settlement details. Request them to return the company property.
Just causes refer to situations where the employee has committed acts that warrant termination due to misconduct or failure to meet obligations. These causes are well-delineated under Article 297 of the Labor Code.
A "just cause" dismissal (also referred to as "dismissal for cause" or "summary dismissal") is the termination of employment initiated by the employer in response to employee misconduct that is so serious that it either: Violates an essential condition of the employment contract.
The Bottom Line. As an employee, you should be aware that just cause dismissal is not easy for an employer to prove. If you are fired for just cause, it makes sense to challenge it as you have much to gain and very little to lose.
“Just causes” – refer to “those instances enumerated under Article 297 Termination by Employer of the Labor Code, as amended. These are causes directly attributable to the fault or negligence of the employee.” (Section 4 b, Rule I-A, Ibid.) Otherwise stated, just causes are grounds for termination of employment.
Termination for cause occurs when a party's actions or inactions cause the contract to break down. This could be because they've failed or refused to perform their contractual obligations and breached the contract, for example.
