Question

Fiona, an employee at-will of Prestige Exterminators, is promoted to the manager of the accounting department. She notices that the some of the accounting procedures are not in line with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, so she implements some policies to bring Prestige into compliance with the anti-bribery statute. A week later, Fiona is fired for "interfering with the company's operations." Does she have a claim for wrongful termination?
a. Yes. Employees cannot be fired for exercising a legal right.
b. No. Fiona was an employee at-will and could be fired at any time.
c. No. Fiona disobeyed her boss' orders and was properly terminated.
d. Yes. Employees cannot be fired for refusing to break the law.

Answer 1

Answer:

d. Yes. Employees cannot be fired for refusing to break the law.

Explanation:

According to my research based on similar cases that have taken place, I can say that Yes Fiona does have a claim for wrongful termination because employees cannot be fired for refusing to break the law. Breaking the law under any circumstance is illegal and firing someone for refusing to break the law can be considered bribery or coercion which is illegal.
