Wrongful Termination

In most states, an employer can fire you for any reason or no reason at all—as long as the reason isn’t illegal. This type of employment is called “at will” employment. Examples of illegal reasons depend on the applicable law but generally include violations of discrimination laws and reasons that are so important that society wants to protect them (called “public policy”). For example, if your employer fires you to avoid paying you money that you would otherwise be owed, you may have a wrongful termination claim.

Other employees may not be “at will” but still may have a wrongful termination claim. For example, if you signed an employment contract outlining the length of your employment or specifying that you could only be terminated for certain reasons (such as gross negligence or misconduct), then you could still bring a wrongful termination claim if you are fired before your employment is supposed to end or fired for some reason that is not in the contract.

If you believe you have a potential wrongful termination claim, please contact us for an evaluation.
