4. You were terminated for refusing to participate in illegal activity

How do I know if I was wrongfully terminated?

You may have been wrongfully terminated if you were fired for a reason that violates federal or state law, such as discrimination, retaliation for reporting misconduct, exercising your legal rights, or violating an employment contract.

Yes. Even in at-will employment states, employers cannot fire you for illegal reasons such as discrimination, retaliation, whistleblowing, or exercising your rights under FMLA, ADA, or workers' compensation laws.

What compensation can I get for wrongful termination?

You may be entitled to back pay, front pay, emotional distress damages, punitive damages, and attorney fees. The amount depends on your salary, length of employment, and the nature of the violation.

How long do I have to file a wrongful termination claim?
