Illegal Termination

Illegal termination is a term that is used to describe the illegal discharge of an employee.  When an employee is illegally terminated, he/she is fired in a way, or for a reason, that directly violates his/her legal rights.  Examples of illegal termination include, but are not limited to:

• firing an employee due to temporary absence or illness
• firing an employee due to his/her involvement in legal proceedings
• firing an employee due to bias against his/her gender, age, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion, political views, or disabilities
• firing a employee who has been out on maternity or paternity leave
• firing an employee who has failed to remain silent about wrongful conduct within the company (whistleblower)
• firing an employee who has applied for worker's compensation
• firing an employee who has reported that he/she has been sexually harassed by a co-worker
• firing an employee who is about to receive higher wages, retirement package, or a large bonus

Anytime a person's employment has been illegally terminated, the person reserves the right to take legal action against his/her employer, which may lead to the recovery of damages for the person's pain and suffering and lost income.
