Wrongful Termination

What is Wrongful Termination in Today's Workplace?

Wrongful termination is a term that is used in a number of different ways. There is a legal sense to the word, and a standard everyday use. We tend to think of wrongful termination as thoughtful, caring people who believe that a certain ending of a job is unfair, unethical, or just plain wrong. However, just because we feel that way about a firing or a lay off doesn't mean that it is illegal. In fact, employers have a great deal of leeway in the current employment laws that allow them to hire and terminate with a great deal of freedom.
