When you go to work in California, you probably know that this is an “at-will” employment state. You may think that this gives an employer the right to hire and fire you for any reason at all. While this is generally true, we need you to understand that this does not give any employer the right to fire you for illegal reasons.
You may have heard of the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. They are charged with ensuring that employers in this country abide by the law against workplace discrimination. Along with federal law, California has strong protections in place to shield workers from discrimination based on their:
More than 80,000 charges were brought by the EEOC for discrimination against people based on those items listed. Our Newport Beach wrongful termination attorney will stand up for you regardless of how you have been discriminated against.
The EEOC is also tasked with holding employers accountable for retaliation against employees.
It is illegal to fire an employee as retaliation for them:
It is also illegal to retaliate against an employee who is a whistleblower. There are strong whistleblower protections in place at the state and federal levels to protect those who come forward about an employer’s fraudulent or illegal activities.
It’s uncommon for employers to openly admit when they are firing employees for illegal reasons. To protect themselves, employers will cite valid justifications for letting employees go. For example, although an employer’s true reason for firing you may be related to the fact that you recently filed a workplace discrimination complaint, it’s likely your employer will claim you’re being fired due to poor work performance or a similar factor. They’re not going to admit to breaking the law when letting you know you don’t have a job any longer.
In some instances, a worker may be able to identify signs indicating their employer has committed wrongful termination. Examples include:
That’s not an exhaustive list. If you suspect you’re the victim of wrongful termination, but you’re not certain you have grounds to take legal action, review your case with a qualified professional. An expert at our Newport Beach wrongful termination firm will determine if you have a valid case.
