Practice question
A nonprofit clinic admits dismissing a regular employee solely because management prefers a different person. It proves no just or authorized cause. Does its nonprofit status make the dismissal lawful?
- No; nonprofit coverage does not remove security of tenure or supply a lawful cause.
- Yes; nonprofit employees have no tenure rights.
- Yes; personal preference is automatically redundancy.
- Yes; the absence of dividends replaces due process.
- No; because a nonprofit may never terminate anyone for any reason.
