How do I prove that I was wrongfully discharged?

In order to prove that you were wrongfully discharged in Arizona, you must establish that your dismissal was due to your employer’s action or inaction in violation of an established law. To do so, you will need to present evidence showing that your employer’s actions or inactions were in violation of employment laws or the terms of your employment contract. First, you must show that your employer denied you the benefits of employment you were entitled to under a written or oral contract, state and/or federal law, or a public policy. Second, you must present evidence that the reason they fired you was not due to violations of your employment contract, performance issues, or some other legitimate reason. If you were an at-will employee, meaning your employer did not have an employment contract with you, you may still have a claim of wrongful termination if you can demonstrate that the discharge was due to your sex, race, sexual orientation, national origin, religion, or disability, or for any other reason protected by state or federal law. You may also have a valid claim if you can prove that your dismissal was contrary to public policy, such as if you were discharged for filing a workers’ compensation claim or for performing a civic duty, such as jury duty. In order to prove your case, you will need to collect evidence and document the facts clearly and concisely. This will include any documentation, testimonials, or other evidence that supports your claim and proves that you were wrongfully discharged. Ultimately, the burden of proof rests with the employee, so it is important that you collect and present as much evidence as possible to support your claim.
