Discrimination & Wrongful Termination

Most West Virginia workers are considered an “at-will” employee, unless the employee has a contract of employment that states otherwise. As an “at-will” employee, you can be terminated or fired from your job for any reason, good or bad, or for no reason at all. However, an employee cannot be terminated or fired for an illegal reason.

Unlawful Discrimination: Illegal reasons include discrimination based upon race, religion, color, national origin, ancestry, sex, age (age 40 or above), blindness or disability. These factors are protected under the West Virginia Human Rights Act. Likewise, various federal laws, including Title VII, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), prohibit similar discrimination.

Reasons against public policy: Over the years, the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals has described numerous adverse employment actions as contrary to the substantial public policy of West Virginia. Some of those reasons include: refusing to participate in unlawful conduct, reporting or complaining about unlawful conduct by the employer, or refusing to testify untruthfully at a legal proceeding.

Exercising rights provided by law: This is also known as retaliation. Retaliation includes situations where an employee complains, in good faith, about discrimination or harassment in the workplace, and then is subjected to adverse action by the employer. Additionally, an employer cannot retaliate against an employee for taking advantage of benefits under the Family and Medical Leave Act, or for receiving or attempting to receive benefits under West Virginia’s Workers’ Compensation Law.
