Wrongful Discharge

https://www.usa.gov/wrongful-termination

Wrongful termination happens when your employer fires you for an illegal reason. Learn what qualifies as wrongful discharge and the actions you can take.

What is wrongful termination?
Your termination could be wrongful if your employer fired you:

Due to discrimination
In violation of a federal or state labor law
Because you reported and refused to participate in harassment
Because you reported and refused to conduct an illegal act or safety violation
Termination could also be considered wrongful if your employer fired you but did not follow their termination policies.
