The federal government provides laws that govern what a wrongful termination would be. These federal job termination laws outline four major factors that are proof of unjust actions by the organization. The most obvious is when an employer breaks the employee's contract in the termination. This can be any type of contract, written, verbal or implied. Another one is that no employer may release an employee for failing to commit an illegal act on their behalf. Discrimination is one more factor that is not a lawful reason to eliminate an employee. This means discrimination of gender, age, sexual orientation, race, or ethnicity. One more complex wrongful reason for termination is retaliation, if an employer is displeased with an employee because of actions that are lawful and within the bounds of their contract. This often happens in employee participation with investigations against their employer.
