Not all employment terminations are wrongful under the law, even though they may be unfair. If your employment is considered "at will," you can legally be fired for many reasons. However, your firing may be considered wrongful termination if:
- You have a written employment contract.
- You don't have a written employment contract, but you are a long-term employee with an implied employment contract. For example, your employer may have told you as long as you do well, you have a future with the company.
- You don't have a written employment contract, but you were terminated because of age, disability, family or marital status, national origin, pregnancy, race, religion, gender or sexual orientation.
- You were fired in retaliation for filing a complaint against your employer for sexual harassment, a wage and hour dispute, or another employer violation.
- You were fired in retaliation for being a whistleblower and reporting your employer for some illegal or unethical activity.
