Legal Question in Employment Law in Oklahoma

Re: False Convictions in CNA Work

Oklahoma is an at-will employement state, meaning you can be terminated at any time for any reason or for no reason; but, if you were terminated for a reason against public policy (eg, race, religion, gender, age) then you may have a claim. If you were terminated in violation of the employer's policy of dealing with employees, you may also have a claim. The detailed, accurate facts of the situation are key to answering you question; generally, however, an employer can terminate an employee. If they've made wrongful accusations and you're ability to work has been harmed, you may have a claim for defamation.
