Wrongful Termination Attorneys
A right of an employee to sue his/her employer for damages (loss of wage
and "fringe" benefits, and, if against "public policy," for punitive damages).
To bring such a suit the discharge of the employee must have been without
"cause," and the employee
a) had an express contract of continued employment or there was an "implied"
contract based on the circumstances of his/her hiring or legitimate reasons
to believe the employment would be permanent.
b) there is a violation of statutory prohibitions against discrimination
due to race, gender, sexual preference or age.
c) the discharge was contrary to "public policy" such as in retribution
for exposing dishonest acts of the employer.
An employee who believes he/she has been wrongfully
terminated may bring an action (file a suit) for damages
for discharge, as well as for breach of contract, but the court decisions
have become increasingly strict in limiting an employees grounds for suit.
