Discrimination-based Termination
An employer may not fire, demote, or discriminate against an employee based on:
- Religion
- Race
- Age
- National origin
- Disability
- Sexual orientation
- Pregnancy
If an employer fires an employee for any of these reasons, the employee can pursue legal action. Through a wrongful termination claim, an employee may seek compensation for monetary and non-monetary damages. In the claim, it is necessary to prove that the employer did, indeed, wrongfully terminate the employee.
An employer cannot discriminate against a whistleblower or an employee who has reported the illegal or discriminatory acts of their employer. Find out more about whistleblower protection.
New Jersey Wrongful Termination Lawyers Discuss What Is Constructive Discharge
If an employer refuses to correct discrimination or harassing behavior in the workplace, the employee can take action against the employer. In fact, if the employer fails to take corrective action to eliminate discrimination and/or sexual harassment and the employee is forced to quit, the employee may be able to sue for constructive discharge. In other words, the person was forced to quit. In doing so, the employee can sue the employer for wrongful discharge even after quitting the job.
