Wrongful Termination

Wrongful termination occurs when an employee is fired from their job in violation of legal rights or contractual agreements. This can include being dismissed for discriminatory reasons, such as race, gender, or age, or in retaliation for whistleblowing or exercising legal rights. It may also involve breach of an employment contract, if one exists. Employees who believe they've been wrongfully terminated may seek legal remedies, such as reinstatement, compensation, or damages, as the law protects against unjust dismissal in many circumstances.
