What Constitutes a Wrongful Discharge?
A wrongful discharge generally refers to a worker’s termination that violates a contract, statutory or case law, or established public policy. In employment law, wrongful discharge typically involves an employee’s termination in violation of the employee’s legal protections under the law or public policy. Examples of statutes that may give rise to a wrongful discharge claim include:
- Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 – A federal law that prohibits employers from terminating workers on the basis of race, color, national origin, religious beliefs, sex/gender/sexual orientation.
- Americans with Disabilities Act – Prohibits termination of employees who have a qualifying disability or are perceived to have a disability if they can perform their job's essential functions with or without reasonable accommodations.
- Family and Medical Leave Act – Grants eligible workers up to 12 or 26 weeks of job-protected unpaid leave and prohibits employers from terminating employees who go on protected leave or inquire about their rights under the act.
- Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act – Provides workers in the Armed Forces Reserves or National Guard the right to reemployment in their civilian job if they need to leave that job to perform service in the uniformed services and the right to be restored to the job (or a comparable job) and benefits a worker would have obtained if not absent for military service.
- New Jersey Law Against Discrimination – A state law that prohibits employers from discharging workers on the basis of various protected characteristics, including race, color, ethnicity, national origin, religious beliefs, age, sex/gender, sexual orientation (including perceived sexual orientation), pregnancy, familial status, disability (including perceived disability), military status, or blood/genetic trait
- New Jersey Conscientious Employee Protection Act – Protects workers from retaliatory termination if they engage in “whistleblowing” activity against their employer, including reporting or refusing to participate in the employer’s suspected illegal or unethical conduct.
- New Jersey Wage Payment Law – Prohibits employers from discharging employees in retaliation for cooperating with an investigation into the employer’s violations of wage and hour regulations, filing a wage and hour lawsuit, or discussing wages with current or former employees.
