Ask the Lawyer received the following question (paraphrased for easier reading and clarity) from a reader on a legal matter that might be of interest to the entire audience.
Q:
I was notified I was being terminated for conduct-related reasons. I was hired under FCIP and have no formal write-ups or negative reviews. I feel like they are just doing this with the end of FCIP. Can they do this?
A:
If it is conduct related, you are being terminated for that reason. The end of FCIP does not affect current appointees.
