A: Greetings. We do not have sufficient information to provide you with a reliable answer. From what we can tell, you made a typo on an important document and want to know if you can be fired for it. The simple answer is yes. In NY, you may be fired at will unless you have a contract that says you can't (e.g., "for cause only") or you are protected under an employment statute (e.g., NYSHRL). There may be other protections as well. In your matter, we do not have sufficient information to provide you with any further opinion. We hope this answer helps you nevertheless. You must speak to an attorney immediately for a more thorough opinion.
