Wrongful termination occurs when an employee is fired in violation of their rights, such as being dismissed for discriminatory reasons, in retaliation for reporting misconduct, or in breach of a contract. To prove wrongful termination, you must demonstrate that the termination was unlawful, supported by evidence like emails, witness statements, or documentation of protected activities.

To file a workplace discrimination claim, you must report the discriminatory behavior to your employer or file a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or your state’s labor agency. It’s crucial to gather evidence such as emails, witness statements, or records that show how you were treated unfairly based on characteristics like race, gender, or age.

If you experience sexual harassment at work, it’s important to report the behavior to your employer immediately, either through formal complaint channels or directly to HR. Document all incidents of harassment, including dates, times, and any communication, and seek legal advice to explore your options for filing a claim if necessary.

If you are denied overtime pay despite working more than 40 hours a week, you may have a right to pursue compensation under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Ensure you track your hours worked, and if your employer refuses to pay you for overtime, contact a legal professional to discuss your options for recovering unpaid wages.
