Your termination looks illegal due to retaliation. And we're here to help you get compensated.
It's sad to hear that you went through a termination. However, we are here to help you restore justice. Firstly, it looks like your employer terminated you because you complained about it. If this is true, it is retaliation, and your termination was illegal. Retaliation is a form of employment discrimination. You can get compensated for retaliation at work, but it is crucial to provide material confirming the presence of retaliation. In 2021, more than half (56%) of all charges filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission were against retaliation, and the average compensation amounted to $40,000. How to get compensated in case of retaliation: You can file a complaint online on the EEOC website, in person at an EEOC Office, by telephone, or by mail (all contacts are published on the EEOC website). Please note that you need to file a complaint as soon as possible. The filing deadline is within 180 calendar days from the day retaliation (in the form of your termination) occurred. Sometimes, the deadline may be extended to 300 calendar days. Please note that less than 18% of submitted discrimination complaints are approved. We advise you to find a competent lawyer to prepare the papers. Secondly, it seems that you faced prejudice at work based on your characteristics. And this is discrimination. Protected characteristics include race, color, sex, religion, gender, age (40 and older), sexual orientation, disability, national origin, and pregnancy. If this is correct, you are entitled to compensation. According to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, US employers pay more than $595.9 million a year in compensation for employment discrimination complaints, and the average compensation is around $40,000. However, only less than 18% of submitted complaints are approved. Therefore, finding a lawyer to help you draft the documents is essential.
