What is a wrongful termination expert witness?
Wrongful termination expert witness candidates typically have areas of expertise in employment law, vocational rehabilitation, and/or possess a Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR) certification. Forensic accountants (or CPAs) specializing in economic loss, lost profits, earning capacity, lost earnings, and emotional distress damages as they relate to a wrongful termination claim are often called in to provide economic damage analysis. In a high-profile case a law firm may request a testifying expert with prior expert witness testimony experience.
What types of cases require a wrongful termination expert witness?
The terms of the employment contract and the governing laws for wrongful dismissal vary by jurisdiction. Wrongful termination expert witness candidates can provide support for many types of cases, including:
- Discrimination: An employer cannot terminate employment because of race, nationality, religion, sex, or age.
- Retaliation: An employer cannot terminate employment if the employee filed a discrimination claim.
- Reporting a Violation of Law to Authorities: An employee that reports an employer’s illegal violation, such as fraud, cannot be terminated under whistleblower laws.
- Employee’s refusal to commit an illegal act
- Employer does not comply with the company’s termination procedures and procedures
Constructive dismissal occurs when an employee resigns for reasons resulting from the employer’s violation of the employee’s legal rights. The US government agency Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is responsible for enforcing employment laws regarding discrimination against an applicant or employee due to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, or disability.
