What Is Considered To Be Wrongful Termination?

Wrongful termination is being fired for an illegal reason. It can also mean being forced to quit due to harassment for an improper motive. Wrongful termination is more than just unpleasant working conditions. Instead, it’s when an employer takes action for an illegal reason. Discrimination is one example, but many different actions are considered wrongful termination.

Examples Of Wrongful Termination Cases

If you’ve been fired illegally, you have a legal right to fight back. Here are some examples of types of wrongful termination cases:

• Discrimination. Federal and state laws prohibit employers from discriminating against workers based on protected characteristics. These classes include race, gender, national origin, religion, creed, sexual orientation, age and marital status. The exact list of protected classes varies by state and local jurisdictions, so it’s essential to meet with our Fort Collins attorneys about your case for a personal consultation. Wrongful termination occurs when an employer terminates an employee based on one of the protected characteristics.
• Retaliation. Retaliation occurs when an employer takes adverse action against someone for reporting an issue at work. For example, if workers report a safety violation, the company can’t fire them for making the report. The same is true for exercising a legal right like going to jury duty when called or suffering an injury on the job. Retaliation for complaining about discrimination or sexual harassment can also count as wrongful retaliation.
• Breach of Employment Contract. Sometimes, an employment contract exists between a worker and a company. An individual might have a contract. Unions can also have collective agreements for their workers. Breaching the employment contract can be an act of wrongful termination. Whether or not the firing is illegal depends on the exact language of the contract and whether the contract is enforceable.
• Taking Legally Protective Leave. Federal and state laws grant certain protections for employees. They have a right to take certain types of leave if they qualify. Family leave and medical leave are two examples. When a worker falls within their rights to take leave and choose to take it, their employer cannot discriminate against them for exercising their rights.
• Constructive Discharge. Constructive discharge is similar to getting fired, but the worker doesn’t formally get fired. Instead, the employer engages in a series of acts to discriminate against the worker because of a protected characteristic. The goal is to make the worker quit by making the workplace intolerable. In reality, the person who quits is the victim of discrimination.
