Hi Stephanie! What legal issue are you dealing with today?
I feel that i was wrongfully terminated
I'm sorry to hear that, Stephanie. In North Carolina, wrongful termination can occur if your firing violated anti-discrimination laws or an employment contract. Do you believe your termination was due to discrimination or a breach of contract?
I was never written up formally
In North Carolina, if you weren't formally written up, it might suggest a lack of due process if your termination was supposed to follow a disciplinary procedure. Here are some points to consider:
- Check if you had an employment contract specifying termination procedures.
- Determine if company policies were violated.
- Assess if there was any discriminatory motive.
Do you want to explore connecting with local lawyers who can assist further?
They're claiming i broke policy but again no formal write up
Case Rating: *
It sounds like you might have a potential case, especially if your termination didn't follow the company's stated procedures or if there was no formal documentation. However, since your case rating doesn't exceed *, I won't ask to connect you with local lawyers. You might want to gather more information about your company's policies and consider consulting with a lawyer independently. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!
