What Is Wrongful Termination?

Wrongful termination occurs when an employer fires an employee in violation of:

  • Anti-discrimination laws

  • Retaliation protections

  • Written or implied contracts

  • Public policy safeguards (e.g., taking protected leave, whistleblowing)

Common Grounds for Wrongful Termination

Discrimination

Firing someone due to race, gender, religion, national origin, age, disability, or other protected characteristics is illegal.

Retaliation

Terminating an employee for reporting illegal conduct, filing complaints, or participating in workplace investigations is strictly prohibited.

Breach of Contract

If an employee has an agreement in place and is fired in violation of that contract, legal remedies may be available.

Public Policy Violations

Dismissals related to taking jury duty, military leave, or reporting unsafe working conditions may be unlawful.

Know Your Legal Options

Depending on your case, you may be entitled to:

  • Back pay or front pay

  • Reinstatement to your former position

  • Compensation for emotional distress

  • Attorney’s fees and punitive damages
