Losing a job is a difficult experience, but when the termination violates state or federal law, it becomes an issue of justice. Wrongful termination occurs when an employer fires an employee for illegal reasons, such as discrimination, retaliation, or violating the terms of an employment contract. Understanding your rights and how to take action is essential to protecting yourself and holding your employer accountable.
Wrongful termination happens when an employer dismisses an employee for reasons that are unlawful under labor laws or breach the terms of an employment agreement. Common examples of wrongful termination include:
Discrimination: Firing an employee based on race, gender, age, religion, disability, or another protected characteristic.
Retaliation: Terminating an employee for reporting harassment, discrimination, or other workplace violations.
Violation of Public Policy: Dismissing an employee for refusing to engage in illegal activities or exercising legal rights, such as voting or taking family leave.
Breach of Contract: Firing an employee in violation of an employment agreement's terms.
Whistleblowing: Retaliating against an employee who exposes illegal or unethical practices within the company.
Federal and state laws protect employees from wrongful termination. Key protections include:
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act: Prohibits termination based on race, religion, gender, or national origin.
Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA): Protects employees who take family or medical leave from being fired for exercising their rights.
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA): Safeguards employees with disabilities from discriminatory termination.
New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (LAD): Provides robust protections against wrongful termination for employees in New Jersey.
Conscientious Employee Protection Act (CEPA): Protects New Jersey employees from retaliation for whistleblowing or reporting unethical practices.
