FAQs
Employment Law FAQs
Is employment at-will in West Virginia?
Yes — but firings for discriminatory, retaliatory, or unlawful reasons are still illegal.
Can employers change policies without notice?
Sometimes — but sudden, unfair, or unclear changes may lead to legal risk. We help clarify policy structure.
What laws protect employees in WV?
Federal laws like Title VII and FMLA, plus state protections enforced by the WV Human Rights Commission.
Do I need a lawyer to write a handbook or policy?
Absolutely — compliance gaps or vague policies can cost more than a professional review ever would.

Yes. Many legal protections apply whether you're on the job or have already left — and retaliation is illegal.
