Wrongful termination means that your employer has fired you for an illegal reason. Generally, the only types of employment lawsuits that an employment lawyer will look at if an employee is still employed are employment lawsuits for severe sexual harassment, severe race discrimination, maybe severe disability harassment, unpaid wages such as overtime, unpaid commissions, unpaid meal breaks, prevailing wages, or a workers compensation issue due to a work injury. Most employment lawyers will not take, on a contingency, an employment case in which the employee feels discriminated against but has not yet been fired.
Can I quit my job?
Constructive wrongful termination means the employee is forced to resign due to intolerable job circumstances. The intolerable job conditions must be on the same level as an employer’s conduct that amounts to wrongful termination.
Employees repeatedly subjected to severe sexual harassment may have suffered intolerable working conditions that justify their resignation. Likewise, employees subjected to severe racial harassment, or disability harassment may have grounds to quit. Employees exposed to unsafe work practices may have been exposed to intolerable job conditions that justify resignation.
