You should consult with a Pennsylvania employment attorney immediately after being terminated. A qualified legal professional can apprise you of your rights and recommend next steps to support your claim. Depending on the circumstances, you may need to gather documentation or speak with other employees that may have witnessed the situation that led to your termination. Your attorney can guide you through the entire process, so that you have everything you need to move forward with a claim.
Moreover, hiring an attorney right away will ensure that any steps you need to take to file a claim happen within the appropriate time parameters following your termination. If you wait, you might inadvertently do something to compromise the likelihood of an ideal case outcome.
