Wrongful Termination
In the state of Michigan, employees are considered “at will”, meaning that employers can terminate employees for any reason at any time as long as it isn’t illegal. That said, there are exclusions that do constitute wrongful termination of an employee.
Your employer cannot discriminate against you or terminate your employment because of:
- Age
- Race
- Sex
- Religion
- National origin
- Disability
- Pregnancy
And furthermore, none of these factors can be considered when your employer determines promotions, assignments or wages. It is also illegal for your employer to terminate because you: refuse to break the law, file a discrimination claim or take a leave of absence for FMLA (Family Medical Leave Act). To terminate they must follow the companies stated policies and procedures and act according to the terms in your contract, if you have one.
If you live in Saginaw or in the surrounding area and suspect you are the victim of wrongful termination, please contact the wrongful termination lawyers at Jay Trucks & Associates. We offer free consultations and case reviews. If you have an eligible case, we can help you file the necessary claims or repeal the denial of a claim if needed.
