In New York, employees, domestic workers, and certain contractors are protected from unlawful or wrongful termination, which occurs, among other reasons, when an individual is terminated due to discrimination or retaliation. If you believe that your termination was discriminatory or retaliatory in nature, consult with an employment lawyer to determine whether you have a claim. In the meantime, secure any applicable evidence, including relevant pictures, videos, and relevant communications to or from your employer such as emails, texts, social media posts, and voicemails, and ask any possible witnesses if they would be willing to support your claim.
