Employment Lawyers in Nebraska

Employment in Nebraska is protected by a number of federal and state laws stating reasons for employee termination and rights protecting an employee for wrongful termination. An employer cannot terminate an employee based on ethnicity, sex, sexual orientation, or a disability that does not prevent an employee from performing a job. Any termination due to discrimination is cause for legal action. Unemployment compensation is available for job loss due to reasons other than gross misconduct. If an employee voluntarily leaves a job, they may still be entitled unemployment compensation after a required waiting period.
