Brake Law

Discriminatory practices under civil rights laws may include: national origin discrimination, age discrimination, disability discrimination, religious accommodation, Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), sex discrimination, sexual harassment and pregnancy-based discrimination.

According to the National Workrights Institute:

An employer has a legitimate right to manage its business as it sees fit....however, it is not unlimited, and can not be exercised in a manner which denies fundamental American values. Employers do not have the right to discriminate on the basis of race, sex, or age in employment decisions. They should not have the right to fire workers without a legitimate reason.

In order for the employer's actions to constitute wrongful discrimination or termination the employer must be found to have illegally discharged or illegally fired the employee. Illegal firing cases vary based on the situation and circumstances that lead to the firing and include: firing in violation of an internal disciplinary process, and firing based on demographics such as race, national origin, disability, age or gender.
