Wrongful termination occurs when an employee is dismissed from their job for unlawful reasons. While Pennsylvania is an “at-will” employment state, meaning employers can generally terminate employees for any reason or for no reason, there are significant exceptions to this rule. If your firing violates federal or state laws, your employment contract, or public policy, you may have a wrongful termination claim.
In Pennsylvania, the “at-will” employment doctrine allows employers to terminate employees without cause or notice. However, this does not give employers the right to dismiss workers for illegal reasons. Understanding the nuances of at-will employment and wrongful termination laws can be challenging, which is why having experienced legal counsel is crucial.
One of the most common forms of wrongful termination is discrimination. It is illegal for employers to fire employees based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, or genetic information. If you believe you were terminated due to discriminatory reasons, you have the right to seek justice.
If you have a written, oral, or implied employment contract that limits the reasons for termination, and your former employer breaches this agreement, you may have a wrongful termination claim. We will thoroughly review your contract and advocate on your behalf to uphold your rights.
Federal and state laws protect employees who take lawful leave, such as the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act. If you were terminated for exercising your right to take family, medical, or other protected leave such a jury duty, you may have a claim for wrongful termination.
Employers are required to provide reasonable accommodations for employees with disabilities under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). If your employer fails to provide reasonable accommodations and instead terminates your employment, we can help you fight back.
Employers cannot terminate employees for refusing to engage in illegal activities or for reporting illegal conduct. If you were fired for refusing to break the law or for whistleblowing, your termination may be considered wrongful.
Your employer cannot legally terminate you for filing a workers’ compensation claim following a workplace injury. If you believe you were dismissed in retaliation for seeking workers’ compensation benefits, our wrongful termination attorney can assist in pursuing your case.
It is unlawful for your employer to terminate you in retaliation for exercising your legal rights, such as reporting sexual harassment or participating in an investigation for discrimination. If you have been retaliated against, you have recourse under the law.
Federal and state laws protect employees from wrongful termination. These include:
If you believe that you were wrongfully terminated based on any of these protected characteristics or for exercising your rights under these laws, it is essential to seek legal guidance immediately. Our experienced wrongful termination attorneys can help you understand your rights and fight for the justice you deserve.
If you suspect you have been wrongfully terminated, it is vital to act swiftly.
