“Wrongful discharge” is one of the most common, but misunderstood, claims asserted by employees who have unexpectedly lost their jobs. Employment in this jurisdiction is “at-will” unless you have an employment agreement that provides for a definite term of employment. The practical effect of at-will employment means that an employee can be terminated for nearly any reason that is not based upon a protected characteristic, such as race, age, gender, or religion.

“Wrongful discharge” is one of the very few exceptions to at-will employment. However, the concept of “wrongful discharge” applies to a very narrow classification of cases in this jurisdiction. Specifically, an employee will have a wrongful discharge case ONLY if their termination violates a clear mandate of public policy and the employee does not otherwise have a remedy. For example, an employee who is terminated for refusing to violate the law would have a wrongful discharge case, as would an employee who is terminated because of her pregnancy (or any other protected characteristic) but works for a small company that does not employ a sufficient number of employees to be covered under federal, state or local anti-discrimination laws.
