Employment Lawyers in Michigan

Michigan is considered an “at-will” state meaning an employer can terminate without cause. There are some exceptions to this, including refusal to take part in illegal activities or for an employee taking time off under the Family and Medical Leave. Employment in Michigan is based on satisfactory job performance and adhering to a code of conduct. While reasons for termination may not be clear, in many instances an employee may still collect unemployment benefits. Certain criteria must be met and a waiting period may be required.
