How Do I Know if I Was Wrongfully Terminated?

In California, the Labor Code states that if there is no specific duration of employment indicated, all employment is assumed to be “at-will.” This means, essentially, that either the employee or employer can terminate the working relationship, without needing to give a cause. However, there are conditions in which terminating an employee can be unlawful.

 These include termination based on discrimination, termination based an unwillingness to break the law, or termination based on the employee’s participating in union activities.

Discriminatory termination is a decision to remove an employee based solely on:

• Gender
• Race
• Religion
• Age
• Disability
• Culture

While employers make decisions to terminate employees based on discrimination, it may be difficult to prove that this was their motivation. This is where a Los Angeles wrongful termination lawyer can assist you. We can make the strong case for you, helping you to pursue justice.
