WRONGFUL TERMINATION CLAIMSThe Mississippi Supreme Court adopted two public policy exceptions to the at-will employee status of most employees in Mississippi in 1993 in the landmark case of McArn v. Allied Bruce-Terminex, Inc., 626 So. 2d 603 ( Miss. 1993). It allows employees-at-will to sue for wrongful termination for (1) refusal to participate in an illegal activity; or (2) reporting the illegal activity of their employer to the employer or anyone else. If you have been terminated for either one of these reasons please contact our office for a free consultation regarding any possible claims. |
