Nevada is known as a "right to work state" - which is a nice sounding politically correct term for Nevada employees being able to be fired without any cause.  This means that most terminations in Nevada are legal and an employee does not have any recourse.  When a termination is not illegal or "wrongful", often unemployment compensation is the only benefit an employee receives once they are terminated.   Please see the section on Nevada Unemployment Rights for this information.
