What Is Wrongful Termination?
Termination is considered wrongful if it is done for an illegal reason. Examples include:
- Termination that is based on age, race, sex, national origin, disability or other protected status
- Termination in retaliation for filing a discrimination or sexual harassment claim or for supporting another person’s claim
- Termination for filing a workers’ compensation claim or exercising another right of the workplace

Many wrongful termination cases begin as another type of employment law case such as sexual harassment or discrimination. Rather than deal with the problem, the employer may fire the employee who complains about the harassment or discrimination. In these cases, you may have two claims against your employer: one for the underlying claim and one for retaliatory discharge.
