Fema Employment
Do hospitals that recieve federal funding fall under employee at will?
The VP of my department harasses nurses until they quit. I refuse to quit and she now humiliates me in front of my peers, intimidates me by interupting my work day (tells me to drop everything to come to her office and behind closed doors she insults and yells at me). Since other nurses and doctors are recieving the same treatment, I still feel a bond with my peers. I just wonder why she keeps telling me she is going to fire me but doesn't. (I know my job well and when written up, I can prove the paper trail of the errors that usually show I am not even a factor in the made up err).

- yes, you are an employee at will. on the other hand, she is the likely target of a harassment suit if she doesn't stop. you complain about this sort of the thing to the VP of Human Resources or the CEO [if you're in Human Resources].
- Employees are "at will" unless they have a contract. That does not change just because the employer gets federal money. I suspect you have a contract that governs the conditions and procedures for discharge. On the other hand, you might be incompetent and the boss is trying to get you to be competent, although in a rather odd way.
