How to Fight Your Termination

fight your termination

When you lose your job, it can be a very stressful time. This is always the case. You can find yourself wondering where your next paycheck is coming from and if you can afford to live without an income until you get your next job. This is only made worse if you believe that your termination was incorrect or wrongful. Whilst it can feel hopeless at first, there are things you can do to fight this, if you have the evidence to back up your claim. Here is a little advice if you believe that you have been wrongfully fired and want to fight your termination. 

Consult a lawyer

This is one of the first things you should do. Many lawyers do a free consultation, and they should be able to very quickly give you an idea of if you have a case and if it is worth going to court for it. You should seek out a wrongful termination specialist. They will have a much more in-depth knowledge of all the loopholes in cases like this and will be able to give you advice based on real experiences and past cases. If you are serious about challenging your termination, then this is the place to start. 

Different kinds of termination

When you are an employee of a company, you have employee rights and protections that are provided by both state and federal laws. Due to this, there are lots of wrongful termination cases. They can include violations of public policy which is where an employer retaliates against a whistle-blower who is operating legally. There is fraud and breaking of a deal implied in good faith or breaking of a contract clause. Because of this, it is important that you seek help to fight the case with you.

How to overcome the decision

In most cases, you must prove that the employer’s reason for firing you is false or not true. It is your responsibility to prove this. Your employer will likely claim that it was for a completely legitimate reason. No employer would freely admit that they have fired you because of personal issues. 

You can use a variety of techniques to challenge the narrative of your employer. This can include using testimony from your clients and co-workers to back you up. If you have past performance reviews that reflect you in a good light, then you should seek those out. You should also seek out the employee handbook and see if they followed all of the correct procedures. A good lawyer may be able to find something that your employer missed before firing you. 

One thing to bear in mind is that proving they did not fire you for the reason they stated doesn’t automatically grant you a win. It merely discredits the employer. You still need to prove they broke the law to fire you. 

Fighting your firing

It is never an easy thing to do. If you worked for a large company, then they may be able to bury you in legal fees. You need to be sure that you have a case and that you want to pursue it.
