Although Iowa is an at-will employment state (meaning an employee can quit without notice and an employer can fire the employee without notice), There are certain protections that an employee may have in their workplace including:
- No discrimination based on race, sex, religion, age, or disability
- Employment contracts
- Union agreements
- Whistleblower protection
A common violation of these protections is discrimination due to a disability. When an individual sustains a work injury, it is common to file a workers’ compensation claim against the employer. Because of the injury, the individual is unable to work. Although it is unlawful to fire the employee for this reason, it still happens. This is wrongful termination. Our firm effectively assists clients with filing workers compensation and wrongful termination claims.
If you have been wrongfully terminated or your employer has violated your rights, we can help. Our lawyers have extensive litigation and courtroom experience. We diligently represent our clients and strive for the best possible outcome in every case. For an effective employment law attorney in Des Moines, IA, contact our workers compensation lawyers today.
