The Pennsylvania Labor Relations Act (PLRA), which created the board in 1937, encourages the peaceful resolution of private sector industrial disputes through collective bargaining and protects employes, employers and labor organizations engaged in legal activities associated with the collective bargaining process.
Although employers may legally let employees go from their jobs for no reason (when employment is “at will”), it is against federal and state laws to fire someone because of their race, ethnicity, country of origin, gender or sexual orientation, age and/or disability.
Pennsylvania, (like nearly every other state) is an ``at-will'' employment state. That means, unless you have an employment contract that says otherwise, you can be terminated at any time, for any reason (or even no reason at all), and without notice.
Salaried employees in Pennsylvania can work up to 4o hours. Any additional worked hours beyond 40 are compensated at 1.5 times the employee's hourly rate. Can an employer reduce your salary in Pennsylvania? The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania prohibits any unauthorized deductions for an employee's salary.

If you are fired because you are pregnant, have a disability, are on maternity leave or complained about illegal discrimination, you may have a wrongful termination case.
