Understanding Wrongful Termination in Mesa
Arizona is generally an at-will employment state, which means that not only can an employee choose to quit their job whenever they want and for whatever reason, but an employer can also generally terminate a person for good reason or no reason. However, they cannot terminate an employee in violation of state or federal law.
There are various ways that a person may be terminated in violation of these laws. Termination based on any type of the following discrimination is against the law according to both the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the Arizona Civil Rights Act:
- Race/Color
- Religion
- Age
- Disability
- Genetic Information
- Harassment
- National Origin
- Pregnancy status
- Sex/Gender
- Sexual Harassment
Wrongful Termination by Retaliation
Additionally, there are various times when a person is terminated out of retaliation for some action that their employer was unhappy about. Some of the most common reasons that an employer retaliates against may be for whistleblowing which includes the following:
- Reporting discrimination or harassment in the workplace
- Reporting unsafe working conditions
- Participating or becoming a witness in an investigation by federal or state agencies
- Refusing to participate in fraudulent or illegal activities
- Reporting fraudulent or illegal activities
Reasons You Cannot Be Terminated For
Additionally, wrongful termination often amounts to a violation of public policy. This can happen in a variety of ways, and employees can typically not be terminated for:
- Taking allowable family or medical leave
- Taking time off to vote
- Taking time off for jury duty
- Serving in the military reserve or the National Guard
- Requesting allowable ADA accommodations
