If they are at-will employees, the employer can terminate their employment for any reason, for a good reason, for a bad reason, or for no reason, so long as it is not for an illegal reason (such as age, gender, race, etc. discrimination).

If there is a contract or a collective bargaining unit, there may be different standards, as those employees may not be at will.

But if your daughter was at-will, the employer likely would be able to terminate her employment for any reason that is not illegal.
