Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Amber could argue that her due process rights were violated if she was terminated without being given the opportunity to explain her situation and defend herself. Due process requires that employees be given notice of the charges against them, an opportunity to be heard, and a fair and impartial decision maker. Just cause, progressive discipline, and employment-at-will do not necessarily apply in this situation.
