FAQ
If you are fired because you are pregnant, have a disability, are on maternity leave or complained about illegal discrimination, you may have a wrongful termination case.
If your termination violates state or federal employment laws, it may be deemed wrongful. Common reasons for wrongful termination include discrimination based on race, gender, age, disability, religion, national origin, or sexual orientation.
While you can sue your former employer for wrongful termination in Pennsylvania, you cannot sue for unfair termination. This is why it is essential to know the difference.
How to Sue for Wrongful Termination in PA Collect Your Employment Documentation. Your first step is proving your employment. Record Details of Your Termination. Determine Whether Any Laws Were Broken. Speak With an Employment Attorney. Interview Your Co-Workers. File Your Claim.
For example, if an employee is let go shortly after revealing a pregnancy or after requesting religious holidays off, this could constitute wrongful termination under anti-discrimination laws.
Notice Requirements: Although Pennsylvania does not require notice of termination for at-will employees, some employment contracts or termination due to plant closures and mass layoffs may require notice periods. Compliance with these requirements is necessary to avoid potential legal issues.
When there is no time set for performing a job, the general rule in Pennsylvania is that employment is presumed to be terminable “at-will.” This means that either the employer or the employee can end the employment at any time.
The most widespread exception pre- vents terminations for reasons that violate a State's public policy.
