Kentucky is an "at will employment state"

Private industry can fire anyone, anytime for any reason. (other than discrimination,issues .....black, white, jewish, girl, boy ect.)

Don't like pants..fired

Don't like haircut...fired

Can the employee collect unemployment benifits. Yes!

Can employer be sued. No!

If the employee looses his job through no fault of hisown he can get unemployment benifits. But thats it. (unless discrimination laws were broken)

In Kentucky unemployment benefits can be paid even if you are fired. As long as you weren't fired for violence in the workplace or stealing from your employer. I know a guy that got fired for showing up for work drunk twice. He collects an unemployment check.
