Make My Day: Dare Your Employer To Fire You For Filing For Bankruptcy.
The bankruptcy code strictly prohibits employers from firing employees who file for bankruptcy protection. A Georgia employee would have the right to sue an employer who acts wrongfully; a federal judge can force the employer to appear in court, answer for their actions, and if appropriate award damages to the employee including lost wages plus punitive damages or sanctions.
Not convinced? After all, Georgia is an ”employment-at-will” state, which means that an employer may terminate an employment relationship at any time for any reason. Although the bankruptcy code includes specific provisions that protect you from ill-advised employers taking adverse action, many clients remain unconvinced.
