Losing your job can be a stressful and life-altering experience, but it becomes even more challenging when the termination is wrongful. Employers cannot legally terminate employees for discriminatory reasons, in retaliation for exercising their rights, or in violation of an employment agreement. At Castronovo & McKinney, we are dedicated to helping employees fight back against wrongful termination and seek justice.

What Is Wrongful Termination?

Wrongful termination occurs when an employer dismisses an employee for unlawful reasons. Common examples include:

• Discrimination: Firing someone based on race, gender, religion, age, disability, or other protected categories.
• Retaliation: Terminating an employee for reporting harassment, discrimination, or unsafe workplace conditions.
• Violation of Employment Agreements: Breaking the terms of an employment contract.
• Whistleblower Retaliation: Dismissing employees who expose unethical or illegal practices within the organization.

These actions violate both federal and state laws, including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (NJLAD).

Signs You May Have Been Wrongfully Terminated

While some terminations are clearly unlawful, others may be harder to identify. Signs of wrongful termination include:

• Being dismissed after reporting workplace issues or misconduct.
• Firing without proper documentation, warnings, or performance reviews.
• Replacement by someone outside your protected class under questionable circumstances.
• Retaliation following a complaint or legal action.

If you believe your termination was unlawful, it’s crucial to consult with an experienced employment attorney.
