Wrongful Termination: What You Need To Know

Losing your job is one of the most stressful situations you can face. While an employer can fire an employee, it cannot be because of discrimination or retaliation. If you believe you’ve been wrongfully terminated, you need to talk to an attorney right away. The attorneys at The Azat Law Group have fought for justice throughout Southern California for nearly a decade.

Understanding Your Rights As An Employee

Most employment situations are considered “at-will.” This means that most jobs are not guaranteed, and you can be fired at any time, and for any reason. However, there are exceptions to this. If you have been fired because of your race, gender, or sexual orientation, that is considered wrongful termination. If you believe this has happened to you, it is important to talk to an attorney right away.

An employment contract is another important part of a job. This is an agreement made between you and your employer that outlines the duties, responsibilities, and benefits of your job. While you are required to perform your job and necessary tasks, the company you work for must also holdup its end of the deal. This means that your employer must give you the benefits promised in your agreement, and cannot fire you for certain reasons prohibited by the agreement.
