Q: I have a question about employment wrongful termination .
I I was fired for refusing a piss test. That I never refused the company I work for broke federal law when giving me the piss test
A: Unfortunately, there is very little protection for individuals when it comes to refusal of a drug test. Because you are an at-will employee, an employer may terminate you for any reason, or no reason at all, unless it is an unlawful reason. If you feel as though you were singled out based on your status in a protected class (minority, religion, gender), you may consider reaching out to an employment lawyer in your state for further discussion.
