Under New York and Federal law, you cannot be fired due to racial discrimination, age discrimination, pregnancy discrimination, or discrimination based on your disability, sexual orientation or membership in any other protected group. If you feel that you have lost your job as the result of discrimination, discuss your options with an experienced employment law attorney.
Sometimes employers fire employees because they complained about discrimination. That is illegal. You have the right to complain about discriminatory workplace practices without having to fear losing your job. If you have suffered a wrongful termination because of complaints you have made, talk to one of our lawyers to discuss your options.
As an employee, you have a right to complain about unethical, dangerous, or illegal behavior by your employer without fear of getting fired or retaliated against. If you feel that you are being treated unfairly because you made a complaint about your employer's practices, you may want to explore your legal options.
If your employer offers you a severance or buy-out package in return for giving up your job, it's important to understand all the consequences. We can help you understand the specifics of the agreement and prepare any necessary documents to ensure you get everything you are entitled to when you leave your job.
