Your employer can't make you do anything you don't want to do, but they don't need even that good a reason to fire you, since it sounds like you don't have a contract with them and that means your employment is "at will."

There are some very limited exceptions to the "at will" rule, although you haven't given any facts in your question, that would suggest that any of those exceptions could help you.  If you want to look into this further, you should talk to a lawyer in your area.  One place to find qualified counsel is our website, http://attorneypages.com

The attorney providing the answer was not serving as the attorney for the person submitting the question or in any attorney-client relationship with such person. Laws may vary from state to state, and sometimes change. Tiny variations in the facts, or a fact not set forth in a question, often can change a legal outcome or an attorney's conclusion. Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved. Unlike the information in the Answer(s) above, upon which you should NOT rely, for personal advice you can rely upon we suggest you retain an attorney to represent you.
