Think about the following question from the point of view of the violation of public policy or breach of a covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and see what the outcome would be. A female childcare worker alleges that she was unlawfully terminated from her position as the director of a childcare facility after continually refusing to make staff cuts. The staff cuts she was asked to make resulted in a violation of state regulations governing the minimum ratios between staff and children. After the employee was terminated, the employer’s child care center was in violation of the staff-to-child ratio.

In this case, the termination of the childcare worker is a violation of public policy. Since there are state regulations regarding the minimum ratio between staff and child, the employee refused to make staff cuts according to those regulations.

In other words, her termination was unlawful from the viewpoint of public policy because the employer was trying to make the director of a childcare facility violate a law statute, which is illegal.

Therefore, since the ex-employee alleges that she was unlawfully terminated, she will most likely win the case in court if she appeals there. The court will consider this situation a violation of public policy, and the ex-director will be allowed to recover from her working position if she wants it.
