Reasons why you should hire a Competent and Diligent Chosen Employment

Lawyer, Attorney for your Wrongful Termination?

Our jobs are, generally, an important part of our lives. Especially these days,

where finding a good job is a difficult task: keeping it can be even more

challenging.

Often the workplace is fraught with issues such as discrimination, harassment,

favoritism, and more that could prompt an impulsive manager to fire an

employee.

What if your job is terminated irrationally and wrongfully?

First let us define a few terms such as:

What is Wrongful Termination?

Wrongful termination or wrongful discharge is a legal term, which is utilized to

describe a situation, where the employer has breached its contractual agreement

with the employee or a provision of the employment law.

It is important to remember that depending on the jurisdiction, not all terms of

employments need to be in writing, in a formal contract. A de facto contract can

be formed by virtue of the employment relationship, itself.

Regardless of whether your contract is formal with a hundred-page handbook or

a handshake, the following terminations could be construed as wrongful

termination:

1. Retaliation:

Your employer cannot fire you because you filed a claim of discrimination or

participated in a discrimination case’s investigation.

2. Discrimination:

Your employer is not allowed to fire you because of your race, creed, color,

religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, or national origin.

3. Refusal to commit an unlawful act:

Your employer cannot fire you because of your act of insubordination to commit

an illegal act, and so on.

In case of a wrongful termination, you should always consult with an Experienced,

Diligent and Compassionate Chosen Ventura Employment Lawyer. Your Attorney

would find all the necessary evidence and testimonies, expert witnesses, etc.,

required to prove that the termination was wrongful. At which point, you may be

able to take your job back and/or be justly compensated for the wrongful

dismissal.

What is Constructive Dismissal?

Under employment law Constructive Dismissal or Discharge occurs, when you

resign from your employment because, your employer has created a hostile work

environment, which you no longer reasonably can tolerate.

While you may have a clear cause of action against your employer, nonetheless,

you must prove the wrongful facts, which led to your resignation.

Different jurisdictions define the requirements to prove a case of Constructive

Dismissal in various ways. California for instance has defined it as following:

"In order to establish a constructive discharge, an employee must plead and

prove, by the usual preponderance of the evidence standard, that the employer

either intentionally created or knowingly permitted working conditions that were

so intolerable or aggravating at the time that a reasonable employer would realize

that a reasonable person in the employee's position would be compelled to

resign.”

To find out whether you have a viable case, please contact an Experienced,

Diligent and Mindful Chosen Employment Lawyer to help you deal with your
