how a notice of termination works
in the united states employers are not required to give notice to a worker prior to their termination as per the fair labor standards act flsa all american workers are considered at will which means that an employer can terminate employees for any reason without establishing just cause as long as the reason is not illegal such as gender religious or racial discrimination the reasoning is that an employee also has the right to leave a job for any reason at any time in the u s the only notifications legally required to be included in a notice of termination are related to the consolidated omnibus benefits reconciliation act cobra and the worker adjustment and retraining notification act warn a reason for termination need not be stated though it tends to be a best practice if an employee has been fired for cause
