Wrongful dismissal, also called wrongful termination or wrongful discharge, is an
idiom and legal phrase, describing a situation in which an employee's contract of
employment has been terminated by the employer in circumstances where the termination breaches one or more terms of the contract of employment, or a
statute provision in
employment law. It follows that the scope for wrongful dismissal varies according to the terms of the employment contract, and varies by
jurisdiction. Note that the absence of a formal contract of employment does not preclude wrongful dismissal in jurisdictions in which a de facto contract is taken to exist by virtue of the employment relationship. Terms of such a contract may include obligations and rights outlined in an
employee handbook.
