FAQ
An applicant or employee may file a written complaint with the appropriate head of the principal unit within 1 year after the complainant knew, or reasonably should have known, of the alleged violation of the State's Fair Employment Practices Policy (SPP 5-211).
Generally speaking, employers in an at-will employment state, such as Maryland, can fire any employee at any time for any reason -- or even for no reason at all. An employer can terminate any employee, with or without notice. Likewise, an employee can quit for any reason and at any time.
Maryland is an employment-at-will state, which means that without a written employee contract, employees can be terminated for any reason at any time, provided that the reason is not discriminatory and that the employer is not retaliating against the employee for a rightful action.
The vast majority of employment relationships in Maryland and D.C. are what the law refers to as “at-will.” This generally means that an employer may terminate an employee for any reason or no reason, while an employee may leave his or her job for any reason or no reason.
Maryland is an at-will employment jurisdiction; therefore, in the absence of an express contract, agreement, or policy to the contrary, either the employer or the employee may terminate the employment relationship with or without cause, and with or without notice.
While Maryland is an at-will employment state, meaning that either the employer or employee can end the employment relationship at any time and for any reason, there are important exceptions. Employers cannot terminate employees for reasons that are discriminatory, retaliatory, or in violation of public policy.
Discrimination and Harassment Claims For example, if your emotional distress stems from racial, gender-based, or disability discrimination, you can bring a claim through the Maryland Commission on Civil Rights (MCCR) or the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
There is no limit to the number of hours an adult employee can work under Maryland or federal law. As long as there is no employment contract or company policy in place that states otherwise, an employer can set an employee's minimum and maximum hours and change them at any time at her or his sole discretion.
