No, there is no right to receive a copy of your termination papers. Those papers, like your personnel file more generally, may be about you, but they belong to the employer and are its property. You can certainly ask for a copy, but they are not obligated to provide it.

Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved.
