Wrongful termination refers to any non-voluntary termination for an improper reason.

In New York, these include discrimination based upon:

  • Race
  • Skin color
  • Religion
  • National origin
  • Sex
  • Sexual orientation
  • Ancestry
  • Age
  • Disability
  • Pregnancy
  • Handicap

State and Federal laws have some protections for workers from termination in retaliation for whistle-blowing or for making legal claims against the employer. Workers may also be protected from being fired for making complaints about workplace safety, for refusing to work in unsafe conditions or for joining with other employees to improve wages or working conditions. Employees are also protected against termination by public policy issues.

The following reasons for termination would likely be deemed to violate public policy:

  • Refusal to commit an illegal act on behalf of the employer, such as perjury.
  • Meeting jury service obligations.
  • Cooperating with law enforcement.
  • Complaining about or reporting the illegal conduct of the employer.
