Category Archives:suing an employer

I am asked if I can sue my employer at least once a month by one of my clients or someone calling me for advice. The answer is,”no”, you can not sue your employer.  Georgia is a termination-at-will state.

The “AT WILL” employment doctrine in Georgia means that most employees usually are regarded as employees “at will.”   Workers in Georgia work at the will of the employer and the employer can fire the worker for any reason at any time.  It has been said that the worker can be terminated for “a good reason, a bad reason, or for no reason at all.” You can not sue your employer.
