Answer 2

If you check the website for Missouri Department of Labor, you will see that Missouri is an "at will" state. This means that you can be dismissed for any reason except because of race, sex, religion or national origin or age.

In other words, they can fire you just because they want to and there is no recourse.

Answer 3

Although most employees are "employees at will" - which means they can be hired, fired, promoted or demoted for any (or no) reason whatsoever, no private business may take any of these actions against anyone in violation of state and federal laws banning discrimination based upon the "prohibited categories" - i.e, race, religion, national origin, age, handicap, etc. Government employees are similarly protected by statutes and the constitution.

Answer 4

You mentioned civil rights...if you need to file a charge of discrimination:

Usually in every state employment is a "employment at will" contract.That menas you can quit at any time,and you can be fired at any time.Unfortunately they can just fire you for no reason.if you wish to pursue

Here's the same website breaking down the employment statute chapter on wages,hours and dismissal rights.You have to read through to see which ones apply to you.

Hope this helps!
