Question

Aisha is an employee at Bento Food Mart. Aisha is called for jury duty and as a result cannot work her scheduled shift. Bento fires Aisha. She successfully sues Bento for reinstatement. With respect to the employment-at-will doctrine, this is ______________.

Answer 1

An exception based on public policy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that she has the public, moral, social and civic duty to go as a jury, she founds herself at the exception of the employment at will rule, based on public policy. Under this exception, she cannot be fired or discharged. Therefore, as she had been fired, she could sue and win the conflict with Bento.
