Legal Answers
Q. Can you get fired while in the middle of a PIP (improvement plan)?
A: In Virginia, unless you have an employment contract or government/union due process protections, you are generally considered an employee at-will. This means that generally a company can terminate you for any or no reason — so long as they are not violating a law.

Many employment laws may offer certain protections here depending on your circumstances. A company cannot discriminate against you based on a protected status (for example, race, age, religion, sex, disability, etc) nor retaliate against you for opposing some type of illegal or protected activity.

The alleged "mistakes" that the company refused to substantiate could be false and "pretextual," i.e., covering up a nefarious or illegal termination reason. Thus, it is advised that you discuss the particular facts and circumstances with an employment lawyer to determine if you have a case for wrongful termination. ... Read More
