What Is Wrongful Discharge?
Under federal and Indiana state law, many reasons for firing an employee are actually unfair and unlawful. These include discrimination against an employee because of race, religion, national origin, disability or sex. They also include retaliation for an employee’s refusal to participate in illegal behavior or for whistleblowing. Unlawful reasons can also be related to issues of sexual harassment.

Often, wrongful discharge is a situation that just feels wrong. Employers sometimes fail to follow company policies. They disregard company handbooks or fire you for what seems like no reason.
