FAQ
Wrongful termination means an employer ends a worker's job in violation of employment law. This includes firings based on discrimination, retaliation, or breaches of contract. In Minnesota, employment is generally at-will, which allows employers to end employment for almost any reason.
You must prove your firing violated federal or Minnesota law to fight wrongful termination. Take immediate legal steps like gathering documents, contacting a lawyer, and filing with the EEOC. Key evidence includes emails, witness statements, complaint records, and timing of your termination.
The Minnesota Department of Human Rights (MDHR) plays a central role in handling employment discrimination and wrongful termination claims under state law. You can file an employment discrimination complaint with the MDHR within 1 year of the termination.
While multimillion awards are possible, it is crucial to keep in mind that federal laws limit the amount of punitive and compensatory damages awarded in cases involving wrongful termination. They cannot exceed $50,000 – $300,000, depending on the number of employees working for the employer's business.
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.
