Facing termination from your job can be one of the most challenging and stressful moments in your career. However, not all terminations are lawful, and understanding your rights is essential to protecting your future. At the Law Office of Jeannette A. Vaccaro, we are dedicated to helping employees fight back against wrongful termination and holding employers accountable for their actions. If you’ve been terminated under questionable circumstances, knowing the law is your first step toward justice.
Wrongful termination occurs when an employer illegally fires an employee for reasons that violate federal or state laws or breach an employee’s contractual rights. Even in “at-will” employment states like California—where employers and employees can generally terminate the working relationship at any time—such terminations must comply with anti-discrimination, retaliation, and other employment protection laws.
Common examples of wrongful termination include:
Recognizing wrongful termination isn’t always straightforward, and that’s why seeking legal advice from an experienced attorney can clarify your situation.
Understanding whether your termination was illegal often requires examining the circumstances leading up to the dismissal. Some common signs of wrongful termination include:
If any of these scenarios sound familiar, it is crucial to consult with a lawyer who is experienced in employment law. A knowledgeable attorney can help evaluate the evidence and determine whether your termination was indeed unlawful.
