Wrongful Termination and Discrimination

wrongful termination

The nuances of being “let go,” “fired” or “terminated” are not always clear-cut and often bewildering to ex-employees. There are also instances where your contract or another agreement will explicitly state that your wrongful termination was, in fact, illegal. It is unlawful discrimination if your employer fired you because of your age, gender, race, national origin, disability, pregnancy, religion, or sexual orientation. It can also be unlawful for an employer to fire you in retaliation for raising objections or complaints about illegal or other improper activities, or for exercising your legal rights. Harassment comes in many forms so it may be difficult to prove wrongful termination without the help of legal experts. To show in court that any of the above instances took place, you’ll likely need the legal expertise of wrongful termination lawyers in South Jersey. That’s because the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination protects employees from termination or demotion for reasons of discrimination based on age, gender, race, disability, sexual orientation, religion, familial status, national origin, and other categories. What’s more, employees need to know that their employers must recognize jury duty, exercising their right to vote or going on active duty as a member of the U.S. military. Again, lawyers can show you how to prove wrongful termination if you’ve been victimized by circumstances such as these.

Further complicating wrongful termination cases is the fact that an employer may have made misleading statements, knowingly concealed the less desirable aspects of the job or even fabricated the grounds for statements surrounding the employee’s firing.
