Civil Rights - Master and Servant - Employment at Will - Discharge by Reason of Handicap or Disability

Authors

William R. Miller

Abstract

The United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit has held that a job applicant not hired or an at-will employee discharged on the basis of handicap or disability does not have a non-statutory cause of action for wrongful discharge based on the public policy exception to the employment at will doctrine since adequate remedy is available under the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act.

Bruffet v. Warner Communications, Inc., 692 F.2d 910 (3d Cir.1982).
