Quick, answer this question:

Can I fire an employee for any reason?

No. Although the law gives employers a great deal of leeway in deciding whether to fire an employee, there are limits. State and federal laws prohibit employers from firing workers for certain reasons -- for example, because of the worker's race or religion, because the worker took family leave, or because the worker complained of illegal company activity.
