Answer to Question 2

1
Explanation: 1. Reviewing the employees previous appraisals would provide information whether the
employee has legal ground to file for wrongful termination. Termination does apply to this act
if it is a result of race, color, sex, religion, or national origin. States have different regulations
regarding the criteria by which an employee may be terminated. The question describes the
issue as appraisals, not religion, being the concern for termination.
