wrongful discharge lawsuit

A wrongful discharge lawsuit occurs when an employee believes they were fired unfairly or improperly, violating legal rights or employment laws. This could involve being dismissed for reasons such as discrimination, retaliation for reporting misconduct, or in violation of an employment contract. The employee then files a legal claim, seeking compensation or reinstatement. Such lawsuits focus on ensuring employers follow laws and fair practices, protecting employees from unjust termination.
