Although employers may legally let employees go from their jobs for no reason (when employment is “at will”), it is against federal and state laws to fire someone because of their race, ethnicity, country of origin, gender or sexual orientation, age and/or disability.

For instance, it would be illegal for an employer to terminate an employee because of race, religion, age or disability discrimination or retaliation. Other examples would include terminating an employee because the employee disclosed she was pregnant, or because the employee made a workplace safety complaint.

Proving wrongful termination It's up to the terminated employee to provide evidence that they were wrongfully terminated. Wrongful termination clauses can usually be divided into a few categories: discrimination, retaliation, medical history, organizing unions – or just plain lack of cause.

In the federal government, you cannot be fired because of your age, color, disability, national origin, pregnancy, race or religion. In addition, it is unlawful to fire a federal employee in retaliation due complaints about an unlwaful action.

Wrongful termination cases can be difficult to win since the employee must provide evidence that their discharge was unlawful. Although assembling solid proof and hiring legal counsel improves the odds, employers frequently contend the dismissal was justified due to performance-related issues.
