Thank you for choosing Just Answer!

There are a number of grounds for which you can file a civil lawsuit against your supervisor (or the company as a whole) for employment related issues.

These include:

-Discrimination in the workplace.
This can involve either creation of a hostile work environment due to discrimination, wages being paid at a lower rate due to discrimination, or wrongful termination due to discrimination.

-Harassment in the workplace.
This can include either sexual harassment (both verbal and physical) or standard harassment that creates a hostile workplace due to either verbal or physical assault.

-General creation of a hostile work environment
This can include any acts by the supervisor that create difficulty in the workplace and give you a feeling of emotional or physical abuse or simply a sense of fear in the workplace.

-Wrongful termination
If you are terminated without reason and the termination does not follow the stipulations in your employment contract this civil action would be plausible.
