Common types of wrongful termination
Discrimination-Based Termination
This involves being fired due to your legally protected characteristics like race, religion, gender, age, disability, or national origin. A wrongful termination lawyer can help gather evidence to show the termination was discriminatory and not based on performance.
Retaliatory Discharge
These cases occur when an employee is fired for engaging in a legally protected activity, such as reporting illegal activity (whistleblowing), filing a discrimination complaint, or taking family medical leave. An attorney can help prove the firing was a direct punishment for your legal actions.
Breach of Employment Contract
This type of wrongful termination happens when an employer fires an employee in a way that violates the terms of an employment agreement. The contract might be a formal written document or an implied contract based on company policies and promises. A lawyer can review the contract and circumstances to build your case.
Constructive Discharge
Constructive discharge occurs when an employer makes working conditions so intolerable that a reasonable person would feel forced to resign. This can include harassment, demotions, or drastic changes in job duties. An attorney can help argue that your resignation was, in fact, a termination.
Firing for Public Policy Violations
An employer cannot legally fire you for refusing to break the law, for performing a legal obligation (like jury duty), or for exercising a legal right or privilege. A lawyer specializing in this area can help demonstrate that your termination violated fundamental public policy.
Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) Violations
The FMLA protects an employee's job when they take leave for specific family or medical reasons. It is illegal for an employer to fire someone for taking this protected leave. An FMLA lawyer can help victims of this illegal practice seek compensation and reinstatement.
