Shirey, 552 Pa. 590, 716 A.2d 1231 (1998), the Supreme Court first announced a public policy exception to the at-will employment doctrine. Therein, the Court held that, in Pennsylvania, an at-will employee asserts a viable common law cause of action for wrongful discharge when the employee maintains that he was fired because he exercised his statutory right to file a workers’ compensation claim. Our High Court ruled that the lawsuit could be brought since terminating an employee for exercising his or her legal right to workers’ .compensation violated Pennsylvania public policy.
