What Constitutes Wrongful Termination?
You may be considered wrongfully terminated if you were fired for any of the following reasons:
- Discrimination based on race, color, sex, gender, age, religion, national origin, disability, pregnancy, or other protected characteristics.
- Retaliation for filing a complaint about workplace discrimination or harassment.
- Retaliation for reporting an employer’s illegal activities (whistleblowing).
- Violation of an employment contract that explicitly states the conditions under which you can be terminated.
- Firing that violates company policy or fails to follow the agreed-upon disciplinary procedure.
You are protected from wrongful termination under state and federal laws. These laws include but are not limited to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Minnesota Human Rights Act (MHRA), and the Whistleblower Protection Act.

What to Do If You Are Wrongfully Terminated
If you believe you have been wrongfully terminated, take appropriate steps to protect your rights and seek justice. Begin by reviewing your employment contract and company policies to understand the terms and conditions related to termination.
Document all relevant details surrounding your termination, including dates, conversations, and evidence of discrimination, retaliation, or policy violations. Next, file a formal complaint with your employer's human resources department if your company has an internal grievance process.
Should this not resolve the issue, consider filing a claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or our state's labor department, the Minnesota Department of Human Rights. This state agency can investigate the matter and potentially mediate a resolution. Our team can assist with these actions.
Consulting with RWI Law can provide guidance tailored to your specific situation. We can also assist in potentially filing a lawsuit for compensation or other remedies. Taking these steps promptly can help protect your rights and enable you to seek redress for any injustices you face in your termination.
Potential Remedies for Wrongful Termination Cases
The remedies you may potentially secure in a wrongful termination claim or lawsuit can include:
- Reinstatement: Being rehired into your former position or a comparable one.
- Back pay: Compensation for lost wages and benefits from the date of termination to the resolution of your case.
- Front pay: Future earnings lost due to wrongful termination if reinstatement is not feasible.
- Compensatory damages: Compensation for emotional distress, pain, suffering, or other out-of-pocket expenses caused by your termination.
- Punitive damages: In cases of particularly malicious or reckless conduct by the employer, additional compensation may be awarded as punishment and deterrent.
- Attorney fees and court costs: Reimbursement for legal representation and other associated costs.
