If an employee complains about their employer doing something prohibited and they are terminated that might be wrongful termination. Retaliation leading to a job termination is wrongful termination if it takes place since the worker worked out statutory legal rights and was struck back for exercising those rights. Examples include job terminations due to the staff member filing a wage claim, refusing sexual harassment, reporting a company to OSHA, internally grumbling to management or refusing to take part in prohibited activities, taking a lawfully secured leave of lack for cancer, impairment, FMLA, or pregnancy. Firing a staff member due to an immutable characteristic such as gender, race, or faith is also wrongful termination.
