In case you're wondering -- and we know you are -- mooning your boss is "good reason" for termination.

At least that's what the first district appellate court held after reviewing the agreement at issue in Selch v. Columbia Management, 2012 IL App (1st) 111434 (2012). "This case has received some attention because it involves an employee 'mooning' two superiors," ISBA Labor and Employment Law newsletter editor Michael R. Lied writes in the latest issue. "However, it is interesting in that it is one of the rare state court cases that determines what actions by an employee may be 'cause' for termination, relying on the Illinois Unemployment Insurance Act."
