Michigan is an “at-will employment” state, meaning employers can terminate employees for many reasons—or no reason at all. But there are important exceptions.
You may have a wrongful termination claim if you were fired because of:
- Discrimination based on race, sex, religion, disability, or age under the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act or federal laws like Title VII
- Whistleblowing or reporting illegal activity
- Taking protected medical leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
- Retaliation for reporting harassment or safety violations
To pursue a claim, you may need to:
- Document what happened
- File a complaint with the EEOC or the Michigan Department of Civil Rights
- Work with an employment attorney to file a lawsuit if appropriate
If you believe your firing violated the law, don’t wait to explore your options.
