FAQ
In order to prove wrongful termination, it is important to ensure that you have written documentation of statements and other evidence that you might be able to use during the case. This may be something as simple as a derogatory comment from your employer.
Pennsylvania, (like nearly every other state) is an ``at-will'' employment state. That means, unless you have an employment contract that says otherwise, you can be terminated at any time, for any reason (or even no reason at all), and without notice.
What Can a Federal Employee Sue the Federal Government For? Wrongful termination and workplace discrimination are the most common lawsuits employees bring against their employers. Yes, you can sue the federal government for either of these reasons, though the process is different than with a private employer.
In Pennsylvania, wrongful termination occurs when an employee is fired for reasons that are illegal or violate public policy. This can include being terminated based on discrimination, retaliation, or for exercising their legal rights such as taking leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act.
If you are fired because you are pregnant, have a disability, are on maternity leave or complained about illegal discrimination, you may have a wrongful termination case.
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.
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.
