Employment law provides a way for employees who are treated unfairly and illegally to have some of the injustice undone. Nobody can undo the wrong that you have suffered, but you can be awarded money damages and even reinstated to your job. Money damages include actual sums that you have lost because of your wrongful termination or denial of benefits. They also can include compensation for the emotional distress and pain and suffering that the wrongful actions have caused. Sometimes you will be entitled to punitive or liquidated damages to sanction the employer for its wrongful actions, to deter it from doing the same thing to other employees, and to remind all employers against deliberately depriving employee of their rights under employment law.
