Can You Sue a Company For Wrongful Termination?
Yes, you can sue an employer if they have wrongfully terminated you. The catch is that you need to know if they actually wrongfully terminated you. All too often, people want to sue for being fired when the company had a legitimate reason to fire them. Not every firing is illegal. Listed below are a few reasons for wrongful termination.
Come To Us If You Think You’ve Been Wrongfully Terminated
We’ll inform you about all the grounds that fall under the ambit of wrongful termination. Maybe the decision to let you go as a result of office-place discrimination. Perhaps, there was a violation in public policy and the guidelines to be followed for employee termination were not adhered to. The criteria for wrongful termination can be many. Were you asked to commit an illegal act and refused to do so? Or did you point out existing issues in the workplace to your manager’s chagrin?
We can help if you were fired related to the following:
- Discrimination –You were fired because of an existing bias against race, religion, nationality, gender, sexuality or age.
- Violation of company policy –If your company policy states that you can’t be let go off without being handed a 30-day notice first and then fails to live up to this statement, you can sue the company.
- Violation of public policy –If your company’s public policy lists grounds for termination of employment and your termination doesn’t meet any of these, you can file a case against your company for wrongful termination.
- Breach of contract –If you signed a contract on employment stating rules and regulations that were bypassed during your employment termination, the company is legally responsible.
- Denied acting illegally –Were you fired because you refused to fudge company numbers as directed by your boss? Relax, you did nothing wrong. It is the company’s fault and the company can be punished.
Laws Governing Wrongful Termination
Unfortunately, there are no laws in place that protect an employee against wrongful termination. Federal and state laws protect against employee discrimination. Employment contract laws are in place to prevent a breach in employment agreement. A wrongful termination suit can be filed for constructive discharge against an employer who made work conditions difficult for an employee and forced him/her to quit. It is integral that you sign an employment contract on joining a new place of employment so you cannot be relieved from your services without prior warning.
