Wrongful Termination
Wrongful termination refers to a situation where an employee’s employment is terminated by their employer in violation of the law or employment contract. While employment in many jurisdictions is considered “at-will,” meaning either the employer or the employee can terminate the employment relationship at any time and for any reason (as long as it’s not illegal), there are several exceptions where termination can be considered wrongful.
If an employee believes they have been wrongfully terminated, they may have legal recourse through avenues such as filing a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), pursuing arbitration or mediation, or filing a lawsuit against the employer for damages. It’s advisable for individuals in such situations to seek legal advice from an employment attorney who can assess their case and advise them on the best course of action.
