Claim for wrongful dismissal
My Employer has terminated my employment based on an issue when working on contract with them in Singapore two years ago. He is citing an email I wrote then a legal agreement. My arguement was that the email was written with intent, before my employment conditions were changed with the company and after taking a closer look at the contract agreement when working in Singapore.

Difference of Opinion
I have a difference of opinion with my collegue. Termination at will only applies if you do not have a written agreement. If this is the case, then the agreement controls. My question to you is, do you have a written agreement? You may submit the information to me at kwbyford@yahoo.com or call at 214-674-1823 for more information.

employment at will
It is employment at will in Texas. An employer does not need a valid reason to terminate you. However, an employer cannot discriminate against you based upon a state or federally protected class. There are a few execeptions to the doctrine as well. What is the real reason they fired you and what law do you think they have broken?
