According to federal and state laws (including New York and New Jersey), it is illegal to fire, not hire, or pass over for promotion, among other reasons, due to:
- Your race, national origin, or accent
- Your sex, sexual orientation, or gender identity
- Pregnancy or family planning
- Your religion
- Your age (if you are over 40 and are replaced by a much younger person)
- Reporting harassment, discrimination, or wage irregularities
- Filing a complaint with the EEOC or testifying on behalf of another employee
Were you forced to train your foreign replacement?
Many IT specialists or programmers in the USA report that their departments are being “eliminated” and tasks are being outsourced to external companies, often from India or China. Employees are often forced to train their successors and then fired — this can be national origin discrimination or a form of wrongful termination!
What are your rights as an employee?
If you have been a victim of wrongful termination, you may be entitled to:
- Reinstatement
- Back pay
- Compensation for emotional distress
- Legal fees and punitive damages
