How do I prove that I was wrongfully terminated?

In New Hampshire, an individual can prove wrongful termination by showing that the employer violated a federal or state law, an express or implied contract, a clear public policy, or a discrimination law. If the termination is based on a federal or state law, the employee must prove that the employer did something that violated the law. For example, if an employee was terminated because of their race, gender, or age, they could show that the termination was a violation of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) laws. If the termination was based on an express or implied contract, the employee must prove that they had a contract with the employer either verbally or through documentation, and that the employer violated the terms of the contract. Documentation such as a job offer letter or a written agreement can help to prove the existence of a contract. If the termination was based on a violation of a clear public policy, the employee must prove that the employer did something that violated the public policy. For example, if an employee was terminated for refusing to participate in criminal activity, the employee must show that the employer was asking the employee to participate in something illegal. Finally, if the termination was based on discrimination, the employee must prove that the employer took adverse action against them because of their race, gender, age, or some other protected status. The employee may be able to prove this by showing that the employer has treated them differently than other similarly situated employees. In New Hampshire, proving wrongful termination can be challenging. It is important to review any paperwork related to the termination and document any evidence that may help to prove that the employer violated the law or acted in an unfair or discriminatory manner.
