New York is an "at-will employment" state. This means that, generally speaking, an employer can terminate an employee for any reason or no reason, and an employee can quit his job for any reason or no reason.

The exception is that an employer cannot terminate you for an unlawful reason. An unlawful reason would include discrimination based on sex, age, race, national origin, religion or disability, or in retaliation for your complaint of discrimination.

If you believe your employer is planning to terminate you for an unlawful reason, or has breached any employment contract, you should consult an employment attorney.
