WHAT IS WRONGFUL TERMINATION?
The law prohibits the termination of employees for reasons stemming from discrimination, harassment, retaliation, whistleblowing, breach of contract and violations of public policy.
The ability to earn a living has been a sacred and necessary function of society for as long as we can remember. Our work empowers us to provide for our families by serving others. We work a lifetime to be skilled at what we do and to nurture the relationships that maintain demand for our goods and services.
It can take years to develop a strong and stable career and only one letter or phone call from an employer to destroy it all. The loss of a job can be a devastating experience that may cause lasting or permanent damage to one’s quality of life.
Accordingly, the law protects victims of wrongful termination by holding employers accountable when they terminate employees for the wrong reasons.
VICTIMS OF WRONFUL TERMINATION MAY BE ENTITLED TO:
1. Lost Wages and Benefits
2. Compensation for Emotional Distress
3. Physical Pain
4. Loss of Proffesional Reptation
5. Attorney’s Fees
6. Punitive Damages
