FAQ
Termination of employment refers to the end of an employee's work with a company. Termination may be voluntary, as when a worker leaves of their own accord, or involuntary, in the case of a company downsize or layoff, or if an employee is fired.
Alabama. Florida. Georgia. Louisiana. Maine. Nebraska. New York. Rhode Island.
Mississippi is an "at will" state, which means an employer can fire an employee for any or no reason, as long as it is not discriminatory.
Yes, you can sue your employer if they wrongfully fired you. But you need to know if your employer actually broke the law, and you need to determine how strong your case is. All too often, people want to sue for being fired when the company had a legitimate reason to fire them. Not every firing is illegal.
Being fired means that the company ended your employment for reasons specific to you. This may also be referred to as terminated by some companies. Getting laid off is different, and means that the company eliminated your position for strategic or financial reasons and not through any fault of yours.
While the average settlement for wrongful termination cases in California is around $40,000, the average value of a court verdict in wrongful termination cases is slightly larger, around $45,000 (but do keep in mind that attorney fees for legal representation in a wrongful termination trial will skyrocket, too).
To be wrongfully terminated is to be fired for an illegal reason, which may involve violation of federal anti-discrimination laws or a contractual breach.For instance, an employee cannot be fired on the basis of her race, gender, ethnic background, religion, or disability.
When you lose or leave your job in California, you are entitled to receive your final paycheck in short order. California law gives employers only a short time to give employees their final paychecks after they quit or are fired.
Public Policy: According to the Mississippi Supreme Court, an employer cannot fire an employee for reporting an activity that violates public policy.A wrongful discharge in this type of circumstance allows the employee to sue the company for damages, including punitive damages.
