At-will employment — with exceptions
Alabama, like almost every state, follows at-will employment: either side can generally end the relationship at any time. But at-will has important exceptions — discrimination, retaliation, contract, and public-policy claims — and whether one applies to your situation is exactly what an attorney evaluates.
Federal and Alabama deadlines can both apply
Employment claims often involve both federal agencies (like the EEOC) and state-level processes, each with its own filing deadlines — some quite short. Which forum and deadline applies depends on the employer, the claim, and Alabama law, so an early evaluation helps preserve options.
General jurisdictional information only — not legal advice. An attorney licensed in Alabama can confirm current rules for your situation.

The timing tells a story
Fired shortly after reporting harassment, taking leave, filing a comp claim, or disclosing a pregnancy? Timing is evidence.
A paper trail built against you
Sudden negative reviews after years of good ones can signal pretext, a cover story for an illegal motive.
Severance pressure
Employers may push a quick severance signature that waives your right to bring claims. Have it reviewed first.
How an attorney can help
- Evaluate whether your firing violated discrimination, retaliation, or leave laws
- Review severance agreements before you sign away claims
- File with the EEOC or your state agency within the required deadlines
- Negotiate a resolution or litigate where warranted
