Employment law is the section of laws that govern the relationship between an employee and their employer, including the rights and responsibilities of both parties.
Can you fire an employee without due cause? Yes. New York is an 'at-will' employment State.
Are My Workers Employees? The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) only covers employees.

Display of offensive objects, images, or materials targeting protected groups. Intimidation tactics, mockery, or systematic insults. Unwanted physical contact or inappropriate touching.

An individual should, for example, be able to come to work and just work – without fear of discrimination or harassment.
The term "good reason" is a contractual definition of a fundamental change to employment triggering termination similar to constructive dismissal at common law.
