Your termination looks illegal due to a violation of your employment agreement. 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 violated the terms of your employment contract. If this is correct, the termination is illegal. To identify a violation, you must carefully read your contract. For example, a contract may guarantee a worker continued employment for two years. An employer breaches the contract if this worker is terminated after one year of employment and their contract doesn't provide any justifiable reasons. In this case, you have the right to claim what you should have received under its terms through litigation. For example, if you have a two-year employment contract and your employer terminates you after one year, a court would order the employer to pay you a one-year salary that you should have received. How to protect your rights in case of violation of the terms of your employment contract: If you want to claim damages for your employer's breach of employment contract, you should file a lawsuit with a district court. Before the court, please review your employment contract to ensure that your employer violated its terms. It's crucial to weigh the costs of taking legal action against the possible benefit of doing so. Based on your contract, you can claim wages for the period you were supposed to work. Secondly, it looks like 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 about 17.4% of submitted complaints are approved. Therefore, finding a competent lawyer to help you draft the documents is essential.
