The Line Between Firing and Wrongful Termination


Wrongful Termination occurs when an employer discharges an employee in a way that violates the employee's legal rights. To make a wrongful termination case, the individual must establish how his or her rights were violated.


Almost all U.S. states are at-will, meaning the employer assumes the right to terminate with or without a reason and the employee holds the right to quit at any time with or without a reason. Exceptions to the at-will doctrine do exist. Examples would be public policy violations, contract breaches, implied contract breaches, good faith and fair dealing breach of covenants and discrimination on age, race, sex, disability, religion and/or national origin.


An employment lawyer will help you maneuver through the regulations and laws involved in your claim. Having a skilled lawyer on your side while facing a wrongful termination case will empower you to fight wrongful termination and gain compensation.


Please contact the Brake Law Firm to schedule your wrongful termination consultation. The firm's experienced employment lawyers serve clients in all areas of Colorado, and will be happy to answer your questions and evaluate your specific situation.

Wrongful termination is one of those phrases that is often simply wrong. In fact, actual wrongful termination is extremely rare however greedy, vengeful people continually use this phrase as they seek so-called justice and revenge against their enemies. In my book, Wingtips with Spurs, Lessons From the Ranch, I title one of the chapters Firing. In it, I detail wrongful termination and what an organization must do to fortify against the turks(that is, Dan Rathers) coming over the wall. Michael L. Gooch, SPHR www.michaellgooch.com
