Wrongful termination occurs when an employer fires an employee for unlawful reasons, including:

– Retaliation – Termination for reporting harassment, wage theft, safety violations, or other illegal practices (also known as whistleblower retaliation)
– Discrimination – Firing someone based on protected characteristics such as:
 – Race, ethnicity, or national origin
 – Sex, gender, or sexual orientation
 – Pregnancy or family status
 – Age (40+)
 – Religion
 – Military or veteran status
 – Disability or medical condition
– Medical Leave Violations – Firing an employee for taking protected leave under the FMLA, CFRA, or pregnancy leave laws
– Refusal to Perform Illegal Acts – Terminating an employee for refusing to engage in illegal activity

Even “at-will” employees have legal protections. You cannot be fired for reasons that violate public policy or protected rights.

You may have been wrongfully terminated if any of the following apply:

– You were fired shortly after reporting harassment, discrimination, or wage issues
– You were denied leave or fired while on protected medical or family leave
– You were terminated without explanation or for reasons that don’t make sense
– Others with similar performance were not fired—but you were, and you are part of a protected group
– You were pressured to resign or forced to quit due to an unlawful work environment (constructive discharge)

These situations may indicate illegal termination. We can help you understand your rights and explore your legal options.

– Lost wages and benefits
– Reinstatement to your position (in some cases)
