Legal Framework and Protections
The legal framework surrounding wrongful termination varies by state and country, but generally, employees are protected under various federal laws such as the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Family and Medical Leave Act. These laws prohibit termination based on race, gender, disability, or taking family leave. Additionally, many states have their own laws that offer further protections. Understanding these laws is essential, as they form the basis of any legal claim you might pursue1.
