An employee who has been terminated illegally, in violation of state or federal laws, can file a wrongful termination lawsuit seeking compensation for damages. The forms can be filled in on the computer.Either use your mouse or the tab key on your keyboard to place the cursor where you want to fill in information. My employer fired me for an unfair reason, or for no reason at all. Atwill employment allows employers to terminate workers without cause, as long as it's not for an illegal reason. The first step in proving wrongful termination is identifying the legal basis for the claim. In both NJ and NY, employment is typically "at-will." Wrongful termination means firing someone for an illegal reason. Even in at-will employment states, employers cannot fire employees for illegal reasons. You can report it to the Federal or State Department of Labor, as described in this article I found in a quick Google search.
