The most common complaint that we hear is that someone feels they were wrongfully terminated. Illinois is an “at-will” employment State that means that you can be fired for any reason except for an illegal reason or if you have an employment contract that has been violated. For example it would be illegal to fire a worker:
- Because they filed a sexual harassment case.
- Because the boss doesn't like their religion.
- To retaliate against an employee that is receiving workers' compensation benefits.
- Because they are old.
These are just a few of the reasons for firing someone in Illinois that would be illegal. That does not mean you can not be fired legally if you are older or complained of sexual harassment. It simply means that there must be a valid reason for you to be terminated.
If you have been fired from a job and have questions about whether or not it was illegal or would like a referral to an Illinois employment lawyer that has experience in illegal firing cases please contact us. All inquiries are free and confidential.
