Examples consist of flexible work schedules, customized devices, or accessible work spaces. However, many cases filed in court for companies refusing to reasonably accommodate employees involves companies who fired a staff member for not returning to work when they are out on an impairment, FMLA, or pregnancy leave. Allowing time off for an employee's medical condition and treatment are fundamental affordable lodgings numerous employers do not effectively handle.

If a worker grumbles about their employer doing something prohibited and they are ended that might be wrongful termination. Retaliation leading to a job termination is wrongful termination if it happens due to the fact that the employee exercised statutory legal rights and was retaliated for working out those rights. Examples include task terminations due to the staff member submitting a wage claim, declining sexual harassment, reporting a company to OSHA, internally complaining to management or declining to participate in illegal activities, taking a lawfully protected leave of absence for cancer, special needs, FMLA, or pregnancy. Firing a worker due to an immutable characteristic such as gender, race, or religion is also wrongful termination. Wrongful discharge IS NOT about unfair job terminations employees do not agree with that do not involve among the above.
