can I get fired ?

Published

I decided to tell my supervisor that I will not work and with a particular client..... Is this grounds for firing ? I do not want to get into the details of the situation .

Unless you have a contract promising a job until a specific date (asssuming you do your job properly) the can terminate you any time (in most states)without cause, as long as the termination was not for age, religion, marital status, etc.

You do not have to work with any client that you do not wish to. As far as firing you for asking to be replaced, the agency probably would not. Nurses ask to be removed from cases all the time and they are given new cases. However, if you haven't been called for new work after a few weeks, I would assume that the agency is no longer considering you for work. When you inquire, if you get the answer: "We just don't have any available work" then expect that you are being fed a line. If they can advertise for, and/or hire new employees, give new work to other nurses, then they have the work. They just aren't offering it to you. That is the sneaky way that agencies constructively terminate an employee. Best to find a new employer in that case.
