Most jobs in Connecticut are “employment-at-will.” This means that an employer may fire an employee for any reason or no reason at all, as long as the reason is not illegal. This makes it crucial to take the necessary steps to prepare a case that can prove wrongful termination.

Steps involved in proving wrongful termination include:

  • Asking your employer for an explanation

  • Creating a record of all persons involved in your termination
  • Reviewing the exceptions to employment-at-will policies
  • Determining if your employer ended your employment on illegal grounds

Although you can start working through these steps on your own, it is always best to contact a qualified attorney for assistance. This is especially true when it comes to analyzing your particular situation and determining if you were fired on illegal grounds.
