Wrongful Discharge

Tennessee is an "at-will" employment state meaning that unless an employee has a written contract of employment that contains a specific term of employment and compensation, an employee may be fired for no reason. However, there are any number of exceptions to the general rule of "at-will" employment including state and federal discrimination laws, state and federal whistleblower laws, and court made law that prohibits termination for reasons which violate public policy.
