Statutory/Wrongful Termination

Vancouver, Washington, Employment Discrimination Attorneys

Statutory law protects employees from wrongful termination, discrimination, and other violations of their rights by an employer. At The Law Firm of Kallis & Associates in San Jose, California, with additional offices in Vancouver, Washington; and Fairbanks Alaska, we stand up for our clients and protect their constitutional rights.

Protection of Your Right against Wrongful Termination

If disability, illness, or age prevents you from normal daily activities, your employer simply cannot terminate your employment because of that. The Americans with Disabilities Act is covered by statutory law that protects those with mental and physical impairments and illnesses. Companies cannot refuse to promote or fire employees who suffer from AIDS, hepatitis, or tuberculosis. Employers can and should be held responsible for terminating an "at will" employee in a way that violates state or federal law.

Advocating for Whistleblowers Following a Wrongful Termination

At The Law Firm of Kallis & Associates, we also represent clients in "whistleblowers" actions. If any employee witnesses an illegal act by their company, they should report it to the authorities. Loyalty to the company must be set aside when the alternative is to do the right thing. Many times, such actions result in an extremely hostile environment or wrongful discharge. The honorable act of revealing to the authorities a company's potentially illegal activities should never result in termination or intimidation.
