    Were you the terminated employee or was the male involved in the quickie?

    You do not have to give a reason to terminate employment in the state.

    We have to deal with HIPAA all the time. Victims get injured and we can't get a doc to talk to us about their injuries due to their misunderstanding of HIPAA. Some charges are dependent upon the severity of the injury. I carry forms which specifically state the law and I fill out what I am asking for and how it isn't protected information under the law and still get pushback from the docs. In some cases, they won't even confirm if a victim is in their hospital.

    CRS 24-34-402.5 (2004)

    Makes it illegal for an employer to terminate an employee because that employee engaged in any lawful activity off the employer's premises during nonworking hours unless the restriction
    1) relates to a bona fide occupational requirement or is reasonably and rationally related to the employment activities and responsibilities of a particular employee or a particular group of employees; or
    2) is necessary to avoid, or avoid the appearance of, a conflict of interest with any of the employee's responsibilities to the employer.

    ------------

    Short answer: wrongful termination.

    Long answer: for a job that an 18-year old would have, is it worth fighting?

    Wrong. His employment was terminated 'at will' of his employer. No reason given, nor is there a requirement beyond you're fired. We are an 'at will' state. No reason need be given to quit or be terminated

    Not necessarily true. If he terminated him without giving a reason, then you are correct. However, if he terminated him and told him it was due to his shennanigans while not at work, then he was wrongfully terminated. It may ssoind like splitting hairs, but there is an important legal issue in it.
