What to do if you are wrongfully discharged from your job?
- Try resolving the problem with your employer.
If you have been wrongfully discharged from your job, you can file a claim against your employer. You will need to gather evidence to support your claim, such as witness statements or documentation of your performance at work. Once you have collected your evidence, you can file a claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or your state’s labor department.
- Industrial Tribunal
If you believe that you have been wrongfully discharged from your job, you may be able to file a claim with an industrial tribunal. An industrial tribunal is a special court that hears disputes between employers and employees. This type of tribunal is usually only available in countries with strong labor laws.
In order to file a claim with an industrial tribunal, you will first need to gather evidence to support your case. This may include witness statements, performance reviews, and documents showing that you were treated unfairly. Once you have gathered your evidence, you must file a formal complaint with the tribunal. The tribunal will then schedule a hearing, at which both you and your employer will have the opportunity to present your case. If the tribunal finds it in your favor, they may order your employer to reinstate you, pay you back wages, or take other corrective action.
- Agreeing not to make a complaint
Once you reach a ‘compromise agreement’ with your employer, you have agreed not to make any unfair dismissal complaint. Agreeing not to make a complaint of unfair dismissal when you are wrongfully discharged from your job is known as a waiver. This type of waiver is commonly used in settlement agreements.
- Interim Relief
Interim relief is a legal remedy available to an employee who has been wrongfully terminated from their job. Interim relief can take the form of an injunction, a court order that requires the employer to take a specific action, or damages, which are awarded to the employee to compensate them for their losses.
