Regardless of the situation,he was surfing on line and not doing his tasks. He SHOULD have received a warning, but they have a right to let him go. Espeacially if this isn't the first incident.

It depends on what state he was in, too. In Texas, for example, one can be fired for any reason or no reason.

Actually the precedent is not whether or not it actually is sexual harrasment but rather how it is perceived by the one claiming sexual harrasment. If the employer does not take action immediatley they can face legal repercussions from it and 9 times out of 10 the court will see it in favor of the plaintiff.

Screwed up but its how it is anymore.

You still have to be fair.

OK in a right to work state or Commonwealth: "You're fired. I am not giving you or your lawyer any kind of reason."

NOT OK in a right to work state or Commonwealth: "A co-worker complained about pornography on your computer. You're therefore fired."

If you fire someone without giving a reason, that's always the safe thing in those places that call themselves "right to work."
