Many people blame their bosses for doing the wrong thing after they are fired or laid off from their jobs. Some think their bosses may have done something illegal by letting them go. In fact, most employers have the right to terminate employees for legitimate business reasons. In a great majority of the cases, workers do not have any recourse or cause of action for a lawsuit against their former bosses.

However, if it can be shown that your employer discharged you for an unlawful reason such as the following, you may have a claim for compensation:

• Because of race, gender, age, national origin, religion, pregnancy or veteran status
• As an act of retaliation because you made a workers' compensation claim
• Because of your disability, which the employer failed to provide reasonable accommodations for to allow you to perform the job

In a sexual harassment-related firing, an employer's or other worker's actions often progress through a series such as the following:

• Hostile work environment, including sex-related jokes or barbs
• Overt or implied requests for sexual favors
• Inappropriate touching and/or groping
• Verbal abuse
• Termination, allegedly on some other grounds such as failure to perform duties of the job
• Retaliatory discharged after you report the sexual harassment

Whatever employment law concern you have, you are invited to discuss the situation with a Santa Rosa employment law attorney at Teal Montgomery & Henderson. Discuss with an experienced lawyer your claims of unfair termination, discrimination, or discrimination that led to a hostile work environment or loss of income. Explore your options and whether you have a valid claim for compensation from the wrongdoing employer.
