This Law Firm Publication by Ogletree, Deakins, Nash, Smoak & Stewart, P.C. discusses a new law signed by North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory clarifying that North Carolina's Equal Employment Practices Act (EEPA) does not recognize wrongful termination claims. The Public Facilities Privacy and Security Act expressly states that the EEPA's anti-discrimination provisions do not create a private right of action for employees to bring discrimination claims under the EEPA. North Carolina employees who are in a protected class under the EEPA may continue to bring claims in federal court under federal anti-discrimination laws.
