What Is Wrongful Termination?
Wrongful termination refers to firing an employee for unlawful reasons. It is important to understand the terms of your employment contract to determine if you have been the victim of wrongful termination. The majority of employees have at-will employment contracts. This means they may be fired for any reason at any time without warning by their employer. However, even if you have an at-will employment contract, you may still be able to file a lawsuit for wrongful termination.
Termination is unlawful if it:
- Violates the terms of an oral or written employment contract
- Is retaliatory
- Violates federal or state anti-discrimination laws
- Violates labor laws
- Is a form of sexual harassment
It is illegal for an employer to fire a person based on personal characteristics. This is known as discrimination. Employers may not fire you because of your race, gender, marital status, pregnancy, disability, national origin, age, or other personal characteristics. Under federal and state laws, employees have legal protections against discrimination or harassment. It is important to speak with our San Jose workplace discrimination and retaliation attorneys as soon as possible to build your case and seek the justice you deserve.
