Avoiding Wrongful Employee Terminations
Overview
To be wrongfully terminated is to be fired for an illegal reason,  which may involve violation of federal antidiscrimination laws or  breach of contract. The legal standards governing termination differ  substantially depending on whether private-sector and nonunion employees  or public-sector and unionized employees are being considered. As the  company HR leader, you are accountable to the organization to ensure  that all employee terminations are initiated and completed while  maintaining strict adherence to current employment laws and EEOC  guidelines.
