It is illegal for an employer to fire an employee in Connecticut if the discharge violates public policy. For example, if an employee was fired because he/she was injured on the job and filed a Workers' Compensation claim, this is illegal. Employees have the right to file claims under the Workers' Compensation Act. Public policy is found in State and Federal Statutes and judicial decisions. Numerous public policy exceptions to the employment at will doctrine have been carved out by the Courts.
