Understanding Wrongful Termination
When an employer dismisses an employee for illegal reasons, it constitutes wrongful termination. This is not merely a breach of contract but a violation of statutory protections. Employees often face this when they are fired for reporting safety violations, discriminating based on protected characteristics, or exercising legal rights such as taking family leave.
