Protecting You From Discrimination and Wrongful Discharge
The United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), as well as the Illinois Department of Human Rights, prohibits discrimination and enforces laws in all employment-related matters, including discharge, on the basis of:
- Age
- Race
- Color
- Religion
- Sex
- Sexual orientation
- National origin
- Disability
- Pregnancy
Have You Received a Right to Sue Letter?
Following a wrongful discharge filing with the EEOC or the Illinois Department of Human Rights, you may receive a "right to sue" letter. When you receive the letter, it is advisable to hire an experienced attorney as soon as possible to help you file your case prior to the deadline.
Were You Discharged After a Workers' Compensation Claim?
While it can be difficult to prove, many of our clients believe they were fired or laid off because they filed a workers' compensation claim. At the Perica Law Firm, we will examine the facts and attempt to uncover valuable evidence in order to build you a winning case. We will look at the company's history of discharges and their policies regarding workers' compensation claims.
Were You Terminated Just Prior to Becoming Vested?
Unfortunately, we are seeing an increasing number of wrongful discharge cases filed by employees who were about to become vested in their company's retirement plans. If you were let go just prior to becoming vested, seek legal counsel.
