SHERMAN OAKS, CA – AUGUST 16, 2024 – Your job is an important aspect of your life. While you may have other hobbies and things that take up your time, you need your job to help you pay the bills and to live the standard of life you deserve. But when you lose your job due to wrongful termination, you may be entitled to compensation and you will need the right legal team to help out.
In California, it is considered an “at-will” employment state. What this means is that for many situations, either the employee or the employer can choose to terminate a working relationship without notice or reason. Even though this is the law of the land in most California jurisdictions, it doesn’t mean that you don’t have some legal rights if you lose your job due to an illegal reason.
Wrongful termination is going to happen when the employer ends the employment relationship for a reason that violates the legal rights of the employee. California has wrongful termination laws that are the most protective out of the whole country. For example, you can’t be terminated due to your religious beliefs or as retaliation if you try to legally assert your rights as an employee. If you refuse to work off the clock and get fired, that is wrongful termination.
Discrimination is another major component of wrongful termination. If you lose your job due to your religion, sex or gender, age over 40, marital status, sexual orientation, race or color, or anything similar, then you may have a case for wrongful termination. The bigger problem here is being able to prove that the reason for your termination was due to some of these reasons, and not for another.
