Losing your job is never an easy experience, especially if you believe you were wrongfully terminated. If you feel you were fired without a valid reason, you may be wondering what happens next. Fortunately, there are laws that protect employees from unfair termination in the state of Pennsylvania. In this blog post, we'll define wrongful termination, identify the signs you've been wrongfully terminated, explain how an attorney can help, and discuss how Lovitz Law Firm can provide employment law services to help with your case.

What is wrongful termination?

 In simple terms, it's when an employer fires an employee for reasons that violate the law or breach their contract or agreement. Examples of wrongful termination include termination based on race, gender, age, religion, or disability discrimination, retaliation for reporting workplace harassment or safety violations, or breaching an employment contract or agreement.

How can an attorney help?

An attorney can help an unfairly terminated employee navigate legal and contractual sources of protection. Legal sources may include the Americans with Disabilities Act, Title VII, and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967. Additionally, an attorney can help negotiate a settlement, file a charge of discrimination with the EEOC, or represent the case in court when required. They can even help with drafting demand letters or severance agreements.
