Wrongful Termination

If any employee has a contract with a Michigan employer, the employee may be protected against being fired without just cause. Contracts can be written or implied. A common way for an employee to have a written contract is to be in a union. If a Michigan employer fires an employee because of race or another illegal reason, that may constitute "wrongful termination". If the employer fires the employee in violation of a contract, that is not, in legal terms, "wrongful termination," it is "breach of contract."

Michigan employers cannot discriminate against employees on the basis of age, race, sex, national origin, disability, or a variety of other reasons. Employers cannot retaliate against an employee because he or she is a "whistleblower" which means the employee reported illegal activity of the employer. Michigan employers also cannot retaliate against an employee for engaging in other protected activities, such as filing workers' compensation claims.

Your consultation with our Michigan wrongful termination attorney is free and completely confidential. And your employer is not allowed to retaliate.

If you feel you’ve been fired due to one of these factors, e-mail or call Jay Trucks & Associates, PC at 1-800-762-8623 for an experienced Michigan wrongful termination lawyer.
