Conviction of a crime or breach of a contract you have with your employer may also be grounds for termination for cause.
When you are terminated for cause the employer does not have to give you notice.
Wrongful Termination
If you feel that you were unfairly terminated or have not been treated according to the law or company policy, you can get assistance. The US Department of Labor, for example, has information on each law that regulates employment and advice on where and how to file a claim.
Your state labor department may also be able to assist, depending on state law and the circumstances.
In addition, local bar associations often have a referral service and may even have a hot line you can call to find an employment lawyer. Keep in mind that you will need to pay for an attorney's services.
Termination for Cause and Unemployment
When you are terminated for cause you may not be eligible for unemployment compensation. If you are not sure whether you're eligible for unemployment, check with your state unemployment office to determine your eligibility for unemployment compensation.
