What is Wrongful Termination?

When an employer illegally violates the terms of an employee's employment contract or ends their employment, it is referred to as a wrongful termination, discharge or dismissal. One instance of this may occur if an employee were to file a discrimination complaint and then be terminated by his or her employer in retaliation. Wrongful termination may also take place if a person is fired based on a bias concerning his or her age, disability, gender, ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation.

Examples of Wrongful Termination

Wrongful termination happens more often than many people realize, as well as for many different reasons. Some of the more common motivations for wrongful termination that we have encountered include:

• an employer's personal bias
• the filing of sexual harassment complaints
• the filing of discrimination complaints
• whistle-blowing
• obligatory military service
• taking a legitimate leave of absence
• exercising union rights
• illegal garnishing of an employee's wages
• other retaliation
