question help: I was discharged without reason. - Help.com

I was discharged without reason.

I am collecting unemployment and after my x-employer appealed I still won. My question is, since I was terminated without cause can I try and collect the lost employer contribution I lost since I was forced to cash out my 401K?

You could but with the amount of time and money you are going to have to put into it its not really worth it.

Unless you have a written contract, most employment is on an at-will basis. In other words, you can quit at any time, with or without a good reason, and your employer can terminate your employment at any time, with or without reason.

By all means, check this out with a lawyer, but I’m 99 percent sure that this is the reality of it.

I can say that in recent years, court decisions have been treating employment more like a “property right.” We still have “at-will” employment, but you can still have a go at an employer who wrongfully terminated you. If I were you, I’d book a free consultation with a labor attorney who specializes in employment rights.
