&gt; Employers in the US generally have no [legal] obligation whatsoever to provide &quot;reasonable time to take corrective measures&quot;.<p>They do, however, want to CYA.<p>&gt; In fact, &quot;wrongful termination&quot; doesn&#x27;t mean &quot;terminated unfairly&quot;. It means &quot;terminated unlawfully&quot;.<p>And &quot;unlawfully&quot; is determined by the US Courts.<p>&gt; If you believe this, it&#x27;s not safe to fire anyone --- all of them could &quot;file costly wrongful termination suits&quot;.<p>If by &quot;safe&quot; you mean &quot;safe from litigation&quot; then yes, that is a risk you take when terminating an employee. I&#x27;m certainly not advocating against firing people. I am saying that in my experience, I have to work with HR to have sufficient documentation.
