Wrongful Termination

Other reasons for wrongful termination include complaining about your pay, missing meal and rest breaks or not being paid overtime.
Employees who are wrongfully terminated can file a lawsuit to recover money and benefits they could have earned if they were not terminated, damage from emotional distress and attorney’s fees.
