If a employer makes a unfair and unresonable policy that cuses you to get fired can you sue?
Filed Under Pre Paid Legal
marc f asked:
The gas station I work for recently took us off of “pre-pay”. This has caused a lot of drive-offs. Today they issued a new policy stating that if an employee has a drive-off, it cannot be rang up as a drive-off, but must be rung up as a cash sale, and shown as a cash shortage, and the employee must be terminated for cash shortage. I am the manager at this location, and was told by my District manager, that we cannot fire the cashier for drive-offs, but we can for cash shortages. Not having a drive-off is an impossible task, and it is an unfair policy. What legal action can we take to prevent this from happening, or if it has happened what action can we take? Is this considered a Hostile Work Environment. The state is Alabama.

None. Nothing illegal about it

Illegal termination can be filed against an abusive employer.

Can you tell me what a “drive-off” is?
Then perhaps, I may answer your question.
