Losing your job is stressful enough without the added frustration of being wrongfully terminated. At SFA Law, we believe every employee deserves fair treatment. Here’s what you need to know about wrongful termination:
- What Constitutes Wrongful Termination? Wrongful termination occurs when an employer fires an employee for illegal reasons, such as discrimination, retaliation, or breach of contract. Examples include being terminated due to your race, gender, or religion or for reporting workplace safety violations.
- How Do You Prove Wrongful Termination? Evidence is key. Gather documentation such as your employment contract, performance reviews, and termination letter. Keep records of any discriminatory comments or retaliatory actions leading up to your dismissal. Witness statements from colleagues can also strengthen your case.
