Wrongful Termination: Protecting Employees from Unlawful Job Loss

Congruence Law, P.C. Defends Your Right to Fair Treatment in the Workplace

Losing a job is always difficult—but when that termination is unjust, retaliatory, or in violation of a legal contract, it becomes more than a career setback. It becomes a matter of accountability and dignity. At Congruence Law, P.C., we advocate for employees who have been wrongfully terminated and help them pursue reinstatement, damages, or severance under federal and state law.

Whether your firing stemmed from whistleblowing, discrimination, or breach of contract, we can help you enforce your rights and hold employers accountable.

When Is Termination Unlawful?

Employers often assert they can terminate “at will,” but this is not a blank check for abuse. You may have a claim for wrongful termination if your dismissal involved:

➤ Breach of Employment Contract

You were fired in violation of a written or implied contract, such as one promising continued employment under specific conditions or requiring “just cause” for dismissal.

➤ Retaliation for Protected Conduct

You were terminated for reporting misconduct, filing a workplace complaint, participating in an investigation, requesting accommodations, or asserting legal rights under employment, wage, or discrimination laws.

➤ Termination Violating Public Policy

You were dismissed for refusing to engage in illegal activity, taking protected leave, serving on a jury, voting, or whistleblowing in the public interest.

We evaluate every termination for statutory violations, public policy concerns, and factual inconsistencies—then build a tailored legal strategy to seek redress.

Common Red Flags That May Signal Wrongful Termination

• Sudden termination after filing an HR complaint

• Firing shortly after taking medical, family, or pregnancy leave

• Termination following a workplace injury or safety report

• Promises of job security that were later disregarded

• Inconsistent or shifting justifications for dismissal

• Termination amid discriminatory or hostile behavior

If any of these apply to your situation, we can help you assess the strength of your claim and take appropriate legal action.

Pitfalls to Avoid

Assuming “At Will” Means No RightsEven in at-will employment, you are protected against discrimination, retaliation, and terminations that violate public policy.

Waiting Too Long to ActState and federal wrongful termination claims often have strict filing deadlines, including short windows for administrative exhaustion.
