Examples include flexible work schedules, modified equipment, or accessible offices. However, a lot of cases filed in court for employers refusing to fairly accommodate staff members involves employers who fired a worker for not returning to work when they are out on a special needs, FMLA, or pregnancy leave. Allowing time off for a staff member’s medical condition and treatment are basic reasonable lodgings many companies do not effectively handle.

Retaliation leading to a task termination is wrongful termination if it happens due to the fact that the staff member worked out statutory legal rights and was retaliated for exercising those rights. Examples include task terminations due to the employee filing a wage claim, refusing unwanted sexual advances, reporting an employer to OSHA, internally grumbling to management or declining to take part in illegal activities, taking a lawfully safeguarded leave of absence for cancer, disability, FMLA, or pregnancy. Firing an employee due to an immutable particular such as gender, race, or faith is also wrongful termination. Wrongful discharge IS NOT about unreasonable task terminations employees do not concur with that do not include among the above.
