What Is Wrongful Termination In Appleton?

Wisconsin, like most states, is an “at-will” state, meaning employment can be ended at any time, for any reason, by either party. However, for your employer “any reason” means “any legal reason.” There are several ways that a firing can have an illegal reason, including:

• Retaliation: If you’ve reported your company for violations of the law, as part of a Qui Tam, False Claims Act, you are protected from retaliation from your employer.
• Discrimination: If your employer fired you due to some part of your identity as a member of a protected class, such as your race, religion, sexual orientation or several other identities, they are in violation of the law.
• Violation of public policy: Your employer cannot order you to break the law for any reason, so any firing that stems from not adhering to off-the-clock time demands or breaking environmental laws are illegal.
• Wisconsin Health Care Whistleblower Act: Wisconsin’s law protects employees who speak up about patient abuse, safety or care.
