Examples include job terminations due to the employee submitting a wage claim, declining unwanted sexual advances, reporting a company to OSHA, internally grumbling to management or refusing to take part in unlawful activities, taking a legally protected leave of absence for cancer, special needs, FMLA, or pregnancy. Firing a worker due to an immutable particular such as gender, race, or religion is likewise wrongful termination.
