Wrongful Termination:
At The Rolwes Employment Law Firm in St. Louis, Missouri, we understand that losing your job can be a devastating experience, especially when it happens under circumstances that seem unfair or illegal. Wrongful termination cases arise when employees are fired without just cause, in violation of employment contracts, or due to discriminatory reasons. Our dedicated team of employment law experts is here to represent individuals who believe they have been unjustly dismissed, ensuring that their rights are protected and justice is served.
Understanding Wrongful Termination:
Wrongful termination occurs when an employee is fired in violation of federal or state employment laws, or against the terms stipulated in an employment contract. Common scenarios include termination based on discriminatory factors such as race, gender, age, disability, or retaliation for exercising legal rights like whistleblowing or reporting workplace violations.
Key Elements of Wrongful Termination:
- Discrimination: Employers cannot terminate an employee based on protected characteristics, such as race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, or disability. Our firm is well-versed in discrimination laws and will fight vigorously to ensure justice for victims of unfair dismissal.
- Retaliation: Employees who assert their legal rights, such as filing complaints about workplace harassment or reporting violations, are protected by law. Wrongful termination cases often involve retaliation, where employers dismiss individuals in response to their protected activities. Our attorneys have a proven track record of representing clients in retaliation cases and holding employers accountable for their actions.
- Breach of Employment Contract: If you have an employment contract that outlines the terms of your employment, including conditions for termination, your employer must adhere to these terms. Our team meticulously reviews employment contracts to determine if a breach has occurred and pursues legal action accordingly.
