Key Elements of Wrongful Discharge: Employment Relationship: - The individual must have been an employee, not an independent contractor. Termination: - The employer must have ended the employment relationship. Unlawful Reason: - The termination must violate a specific law, contract term, or public policy. Damages:
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.
Key grounds for summary dismissal: ReasonExample Theft Stealing company property Gross insubordination Ignoring direct orders repeatedly Violence Fighting or assaulting coworkers Alcohol/drug abuse at work or affecting performance
Common Grounds for Wrongful Termination Claims Breach of employment contract or company policy. Taking legally protected time off. Refusal to perform illegal acts. Violations of public policy.
Wrongful termination cases can be difficult to win since the employee must provide evidence that their discharge was unlawful. Although assembling solid proof and hiring legal counsel improves the odds, employers frequently contend the dismissal was justified due to performance-related issues.
The law just allows the employer to terminate you if you do not have enough sick days to cover your time off. The employer also has a right to terminate for any reason or no reason at all. Even if you were super sick, the law doesn't consider it an excuse as far as unemployment is concerned, sadly.
