Wrongful Termination

Philadelphia Wrongful Termination Lawyers

Pennsylvania and New Jersey are both “at will” employment states, which means that generally, an employer may terminate your employment for any reason, or no reason at all, as long as it is not an unlawful reason.  Unlawful reasons for terminating your employment include termination based on your sex, age, sexual orientation, race, pregnancy, national origin, religion or disability. In addition, it is unlawful to terminate or discharge an employee in retaliation for certain kinds of employee complaints, or for engaging in some types of whistleblower activity.

You may also have a wrongful termination claim if your employer fired you for reasons that violate the law or public policy.  For example, an employer may not terminate an employee for refusing to engage in illegal activity.

If you are an employee who has an employment contract or who received an offer letter that contained promises about your employment, you may also be able to challenge your termination as a breach of contract, and collect damages based upon the promises made to you in the offer letter.
