Walmart is one of the biggest multinational retail corporations operating all over the U.S., with numerous stores and even more employees. If you were fired by the company, and you believe that the firing was illegal, it can be extremely difficult to file a complaint against them as they can hire several attorneys to defend the charges. Here’s what you need to know:

Wrongful Termination

Under U.S. law, workers are usually ‘at-will’ employees, which gives employers the right to fire them whenever they want, with or without any reason, as long as it isn’t discriminatory.

Hence, wrongful termination only covers breach of contracts, discrimination, or retaliation against an employee. But even these situations can come in several different forms. Any kind of harassment by the employer or other coworkers is strictly prohibited. Discrimination on the basis of the employee’s gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, etc. is also illegal. Violation of agreement and retaliation by the employer in any way is not permitted either.

There have been incidents related to Walmart where coworkers harass employees as they know they won’t be harmed, as it’s common for the victim to be terminated in response to filing an unlawful discrimination case against Walmart.

Suing Walmart for Wrongful Termination

If you feel that you were wrongfully terminated by Walmart, you have the right to sue them. However, you must be able to prove that the firing was illegal. In most cases, having evidence can be helpful, but proving your employer’s intent can be quite difficult.

Possessing evidence such as pictures of discriminatory conversations or actions, filing an official complaint with the human resources, statements of witnesses and coworkers that are in your favor, or security camera footage that can back up your claim can all help to support your stance.

Walmart Wrongful Termination Lawyers

The best way to go about such a situation is to seek legal advice. Hiring a professional attorney who has dealt with illegal termination cases against Walmart in the past can be quite helpful. They can guide you through the process and help you understand the laws that apply to your case.

There are several federal and state laws that protect employees from wrongful terminations. The Civil Rights Act prohibits discrimination against employees on various characteristics. The Age Discrimination Employment Act protects employees over the age of 40 from being mistreated. Other laws in place provide protection for employees from disability, pregnancy, and racial discrimination.

An expert lawyer can help you reach a settlement with Walmart’s insurance agent to get the maximum value for your lawsuit. For that, you need to have sufficient and convincing evidence to back your case.
