SIGNIFICANT FACTOR FOR DISCHARGE
SIGNIFICANT FACTOR FOR DISCHARGE
The evidence may show that [Plaintiff] was discharged for more than one reason.
Although [Plaintiff] need not prove that [set out what plaintiff claims violated public
policy] was the only reason [he/she] was discharged, [Plaintiff] must prove that the [set
out what plaintiff claims violated public policy] was a significant factor in the decision
of [Defendant] to discharge [him/her]. In order for you to decide that [set out what
plaintiff claims violated public policy] was a significant factor, you must determine
whether [Defendant] would have discharged [Plaintiff] even if [Plaintiff] had [not] [set
out the act that Plaintiff either performed or refused to perform] , and everything
else remained the same.
