Need to Know About Wrongful Termination

In CA, when an employee is terminated in violation of contractual agreements, public policy, or state or federal laws. They become wrongful termination victims. In an “at-will” employment state, where workers can be fired for almost any lawful reason, illegal grounds for dismissal still exist.

Illegal Reasons for Termination

You may have a wrongful termination case if your firing was based on the following:

  • Discrimination: Terminating employees due to characteristics like age, race, national origin, religion, gender, disability, sexual orientation, or any other trait protected by law.
  • Retaliation: It is illegal to fire someone for reporting misconduct, such as harassment or discrimination, or for participating in whistleblower actions.
  • Public Policy Violations: Public policy is violated; employees may be terminated for refusing unlawful directives or exercising protected rights.

These rules help ensure fairness and protect employees even where at-will employment applies.

Each year, it tops the nationwide list of wrongful termination claims in California, with between 10,000 and 15,000. Of these, 55% involve retaliation, 30% stem from discrimination, followed by wage or contract disputes at 15%; it’s a clear sign that workers here know their rights and aren’t afraid to fight back.

What should I do after a Wrongful Termination?

  • Record Everything: Document every detail of emails, performance reviews, and any important communications related to your termination.
  • Avoid Signing Anything: Don’t sign any documents related to your termination, like severance agreements, without consulting an attorney.
  • Consult a Top Wrongful Termination Attorney: Contact our firm for a complimentary consultation and expert guidance for your legal rights.

What types of Damages can I recover?

Compensation will depend on your case circumstances. You may qualify for:

  • Back Pay: Compensation for denied lost wages, benefits, or income, such as salary, bonuses, and overtime pay.
  • Lost Benefits: Denied health insurance, retirement funds, stock options, and other job perks.
  • Emotional Distress: If you feel pain, stress, anxiety, and suffering through termination, then you deserve compensation.
  • Punitive Damages: Recover non-economic damages compensation in some cases, such as when the employer acts with malice and misconduct.
  • Lawyer’s Fees: If you win your case, then you will have covered your legal costs and fees.

We Handle Types of Wrongful Termination Cases

At Azadian Law Group, PC, we stand for employees across California who have been illegally terminated for unlawful reasons. Here are the most common types of wrongful termination cases we handle:

Discrimination-Based Termination

Employees with disabilities are protected under the ADA from unfair treatment and termination. Firing an employee because of race, gender, disability, or other protected characteristics is a breach of California’s FEHA and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. We carefully construct cases to prove discrimination and fight for our clients’ rights.

Retaliation

When an employer punishes an employee who is participating in illegal activities, such as unsafe work conditions or reporting harassment, this can lead to retaliatory termination, which may involve fabricated claims of poor performance or misconduct.

Constructive Discharge

When an employer makes the work environment so hostile or unbearable that an employee feels compelled to quit, it’s considered constructive termination. Harassment, unjustified demotions, or poor working conditions are included as common factors.

Breach of Employment Contract

If you were terminated in violation of a written or implied employment contract, whether implied or explicit, you may have grounds for a wrongful termination claim.
