Understanding to California Attorneys for Wrongful Termination

Updated: Dec 19, 2023

What is Wrongful Termination?

Employees who are fired in violation of an employment contract, for discriminatory reasons, or for exercising certain legal rights may have a wrongful termination claim. In California (as in other states), most employees work at will, which means they can be fired at any time, with or without notice.

In California, wrongful termination means that an employer violated specific public policies contained in our statutes, regulations, or constitutional provisions. For example, it is unlawful for an employer in California to fire an employee due to gender, pregnancy, age, race, disability, taking of medical leave, requesting a reasonable accommodation for a disability, national origin, sexual orientation, age, marital status, or because the employee engaged in whistleblowing by complaining about or otherwise opposing certain specified unlawful, fraudulent or unethical conduct.
