Every employee MUST learn to get wrongful termination answers to the illegal termination actions of their employers.
Unfortunately, the overwhelming majority of career seekers and employees are ignorant of the activities some bosses use to violate their Basic Employee Rights.
All states in the country provide laws that protect job applicants and employees from unjust termination.
Federal laws make illegal discriminating against job seekers and employees based on religion, national origin, disability, race, gender or sex. The U.S. government also punishes employers engaging in workplace retaliation of employees who pursue their employee rights. Some states give additional protection against discrimination rooted in marital status and sexual preference or orientation.
The following are some illegal termination questions and answers;
What exactly is wrongful termination?
Wrongful termination is not in and of itself a law. Legally, It is an act of illegal firing of an employee. Illegal acts include terminating an employee in violation of state and federal anti-discrimination laws, a form of sexual harassment, employment contracts, collective bargaining agreements, and retaliation for filing a complaint against the employer.

Does "At Will" employment apply all the time?
The "infamous" (my opinion) "AT WILL" employment doctrine means your boss can "let you go" for any reason or no reason. However, there are several exceptions to it.
If it violates a "fair dealing" and "good faith" implied promise. For example, in some states you can't be fired because your boss wants to avoid his promise to promote you.
If it violates the public policy of your state. Your boss can't fire you for not lying to law enforcement about the company.
If it violates an express or implied employment contract.
Doe my boss have to tell me why I was terminated?
This depends on where you live. Because of "AT WILL" your boss may not be required to give you a reason for terminating you. You can request a written reason for the firing. If you believe the termination was illegal contact an employee rights attorney as soon as possible.
