What is Wrongful Termination Henderson


Wrongful Termination Henderson, which can also be called wrongful discharge or wrongful dismissal, is the legal phrase used to describe the situation where an employee’s employment has been terminated by the employer if it was done without cause. In order for a job termination to be Wrongful Termination Henderson, there are certain criteria it must meet. This can include being fired because of any of the following:

  • Discrimination: Employers cannot fire an individual because of their Race, Ethnic Background, Religion, Gender, Age, or Disability.
  • The employee refused to do something illegal: Employers are not allowed to fire an individual because they refuse to commit an act that was against the law.
  • Retaliation: It can also include a person who brought to light an employer’s wrongdoing as a whistleblower. This would fall under the categorization of retaliation, which is against the law.
  • The employer did not follow their own termination procedure: Many times, the company’s employee handbook or the company policy stipulates the procedures that must be followed by an employer in order to terminate an employee. If the employee is fired in a way that does not comply with these documents, then the employee may have a legal claim for a Wrongful Termination.

The rules and scope for Wrongful Termination Henderson varies according to the jurisdiction.  However, Wrongful Termination Henderson may not require an actual written employment contract. In these cases, a de facto contract is assumed to exist because of the employment relationship. The terms of such a contract can come from sources such as the employee handbook, etc.

Many jurisdictions have provided courts or tribunals that will hear cases of Wrongful Termination Henderson. If the case is won, there are often two main actions:

  • Having the employee reinstated to their job.
  • And/or giving the employee monetary compensation for the Wrongful Termination Henderson.

There is no single Wrongful Termination Henderson law. There are many state and federal laws, combined with court decisions, that define it. Employers often classify their employees as employees at will. However, even thus classified by the employer, it can still be termed as Wrongful Termination Henderson if an employee is terminated using a legally prohibited method. In the United States, Wrongful Termination has become the most common labor lawsuit claim. [1]
