Your State or Province will have rules regarding when and how a person can be fired or laid off.

Most jurisdictions make their labor laws available online without charge, and almost all have a labor board that you can contact to file a complaint if you feel you were wrongly dismissed.

Remedies vary from simple reinstatement to increased eligibility for Unemployment benefits to substantial monetary compensation (sometimes even up to a year's worth of wages), depending on the circumstances and where you live.

What are your rights when terminated wrongfully?

(in the US) Anyone can sue Anybody for Anything! First of all it is YOUR burden to prove that you were terminated "wrongfully." This is kind of tough to do unless your job was protected by some kind of contract or labor agreement, or you are claiming you were discriminated against under Federal Law. Employers have broad authority to hire, fire, or retain the employees they choose. Their authority is even broader in 'right-to-work' states where they have the ability to fire someone for ANY reason whatsoever. If you feel you have a good case check with an attorney.

Hello my name is Richard Davis and i have been currently terminated from my job with kbr unjustly and wrongfully paid for seven months what are the best steps to take to take in regards to this matter?

Consider your reasons for saying you were wrongfully terminated. If it was related to discrimination of some sort (racial/gender) then you can file a case with the EEOC. If there is other reasons you can either consult a lawyer for your behalf. YOu could also consider arbitration(no need for court, as the decision is decided by a neutral third party). You may also want to act quickly, because sometimes there is a time limit on filing these types of complaints. Good luck
