Other employees may be members of unions and benefit from a <a href="/wiki/Collective_agreement" title="Collective agreement">collective bargaining agreement</a> that defines disciplinary proceedings and limits when an employee may be terminated. Employees who work for government agencies normally benefit from civil service protections that restrict termination.

Three leading grounds for claiming wrongful termination are: </p> <ol><li><b>Implied contract</b>: In some situations a court might find an implied contract of employment that restricts the employer's ability to terminate an employee without cause. For example, the terms of an employee manual may support an employee's claim that the employer must follow a defined disciplinary process prior to termination.</li> <li><b>Public policy</b>: In many states it is possible to argue that the employer's reasons for terminating an employee, although not in violation of a statute, violated the state's public policy such that a wrongful termination claim should be allowed. For example, a court might allow a claim by an employee who was fired for refusing to take an action that was in violation of the law, for reporting a violation of the law to an enforcement agency, or for otherwise exercising the employee's rights under the law.</li> <li><b>Covenant of good faith and fair dealing</b>: In what is in many senses an extension of public policy doctrine, some states allow an at-will employee to pursue a wrongful termination claim if the cause for the termination is deemed to reflect <a href="/wiki/Bad_faith" title="Bad faith">bad faith</a> on the part of the employer. For example, a state might apply this doctrine to allow a claim against an employer that terminated an employee a week before that employee's pension benefits vested, for no reason other than to avoid paying the employee a pension.</li></ol> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Termination_in_violation_of_the_law">Termination in violation of the law</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wrongful_dismissal&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Termination in violation of the law"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In the United States, termination of employment is not legal if it is based on the worker's membership in a group protected from discrimination by law.

There are oral employment contracts, and written employment contracts, and combinations of oral and written employment contracts. In Canadian common law, there is a basic distinction as to dismissals. There are two basic types of dismissals, or terminations: dismissal with cause and termination without cause. An example of cause would be an employee's behavior which constitutes a fundamental breach of the terms of the employment contract. Where cause exists, the employer can dismiss the employee without providing any notice. If no cause exists yet the employer dismisses without providing lawful notice, then the dismissal is a wrongful dismissal. A wrongful dismissal will allow the employee to claim monetary damages in an amount that compensates the employee for the wages, commissions, bonuses, profit sharing and other such emoluments the employee would have earned or received during the lawful notice period, minus earnings from new employment obtained during the lawful notice period. In Canadian employment law, in those jurisdictions where a remedy for <a href="/wiki/Unjust_dismissal" class="mw-redirect" title="Unjust dismissal">unjust dismissal</a> is not available, it has long been the rule that reinstatement is not a remedy available to either the employer or the employee—damages must be paid instead. </p><p>Although Canadian employment law provides some of the above remedies, each (provincial) jurisdiction may treat employment law differently. It is important to determine which jurisdiction the employment occurs in or is regulated by, then seek appropriate legal advice relevant to that jurisdiction and its particular employment laws. </p>
