Wrongful Termination

While there are many reasons why an employer may lawfully terminate your employment, some reasons are prohibited by law. It is important to obtain independent legal advice from an attorney any time you face the termination of your employment. Wrongful termination can entitle an employee to compensation for lost wages, lost employment benefits, and even emotional distress. In particularly egregious cases, an employee can even win punitive damages at trial. Courts use punitive damages to punish employers for particularly egregious conduct and to deter others from engaging in similar conduct in the future. You don’t have to face a wrongful termination on your own. Let our experienced California employment attorneys review your case to ensure that your legal rights are being protected.

Here are some of the most common violations of wrongful termination laws:[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit”

Termination in Violation of Public Policy

[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”Small Line” line_alignment=”default” line_thickness=”4″ divider_color=”accent-color” animate=”yes” custom_line_width=”60″][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”16″][vc_column_text]Employees who are fired based upon their race, color, national origin, disability, age, sex, and sexual orientation may file a complaint with the EEOC or may also file a complaint of discrimination with the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (“DFEH”). While this is an important step toward holding an employer accountable for wrongful termination, it is only one of the legal remedies that are available to you. An employee may also file a wrongful termination lawsuit in state or federal court. In some cases, it is possible to avoid litigation altogether. For example: suppose you were fired by a supervisor with a history of discrimination. The company might not even be aware that this supervisor has violated federal or state law. In this scenario, your lawyer may be able to notify the company and negotiate a fair resolution of your wrongful termination.
It can be difficult to prove discrimination in a wrongful termination case. An employer is unlikely to admit that an employee was fired for an illegal reason: instead, they will likely create some pretext for the firing. There might be accusations of poor performance or low sales. There might be complaints and accusations against the employee that were never addressed before the employee was fired. An employee’s disciplinary record might suddenly be a problem (even though the employee was never made aware of this or given an opportunity to correct the alleged problems). An experienced wrongful termination lawyer can still overcome these pre-textual reasons for termination. Even if the employer presents some pre-textual reasons for the firing, it still may be possible to prove that an employee was treated differently and that discrimination does, in fact, exist in that workplace.[/vc_column_text][nectar_btn size=”large” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” icon_family=”none” text=”Contact Us”

Termination In Violation of An Employment Contract

Wrongful termination can be a violation of your contractual rights, in addition to your legal rights as an employee. Employment contracts are generally written with specific terms that unambiguously set the length of employment, rate of pay, and other important conditions of your work. It is rare for an employer to simply ignore these clear terms. Instead, an employer might claim that the employee violated other terms of the contract, and the contract is therefore void. The employer might claim there are grounds for termination that supersede the contract. Whatever the situation is, you have the right to fight back against a violation of your contractual right to be employed. You do not have to accept the company lawyer’s assessment of the situation. Consult with your own attorney to get a fair assessment of your contractual and legal rights.[/vc_column_text][nectar_btn size=”large” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” icon_family=”none” text=”Contact Us” url=”/contact-us/”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” equal_height=”yes” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”100″ bottom_padding=”72″ bottom_padding_tablet=”24″ top_padding_phone=”72″ bottom_padding_phone=”0″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” class=”employment_lawyer_row” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” el_class=”employment_lawyer_col” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” gradient_type=”default”][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”reverse” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” el_class=”employment_lawyer_img_box clip_cut_img” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” gradient_type=”default”][nectar_cascading_images image_1_bg_color=”#008f8f” image_1_offset_x_sign=”+” image_1_offset_x=”0%” image_1_offset_y_sign=”+” image_1_offset_y=”0%” image_1_rotate_sign=”+” image_1_rotate=”none” image_1_scale=”1″ image_1_padding=”none” image_1_box_shadow=”none” image_1_max_width_desktop=”100%” image_1_max_width_mobile=”100%” image_1_image_width_mobile=”default” image_2_url=”235″ image_2_offset_x_sign=”+” image_2_offset_x=”5%” image_2_offset_y_sign=”+” image_2_offset_y=”0%” image_2_rotate_sign=”+” image_2_rotate=”none” image_2_scale=”1″ image_2_padding=”none” image_2_box_shadow=”medium_depth” image_2_max_width_desktop=”100%” image_2_max_width_mobile=”100%” image_2_image_width_mobile=”default” image_3_offset_x_sign=”-” image_3_offset_x=”0%” image_3_offset_y_sign=”-” image_3_offset_y=”0%” image_3_rotate_sign=”+” image_3_rotate=”none” image_3_scale=”1″ image_3_padding=”auto” image_3_box_shadow=”none” image_3_max_width_desktop=”100%” image_3_max_width_mobile=”100%” image_3_image_width_mobile=”default” image_4_offset_x_sign=”+” image_4_offset_x=”0%” image_4_offset_y_sign=”+” image_4_offset_y=”0%” image_4_rotate_sign=”+” image_4_rotate=”none” image_4_scale=”1″ image_4_padding=”auto” image_4_box_shadow=”none” image_4_max_width_desktop=”100%” image_4_max_width_mobile=”100%” image_4_image_width_mobile=”default” element_sizing=”default” image_loading=”lazy-load” border_radius=”none” parallax_scrolling=”yes” layer_1_parallax_scrolling=”no” parallax_scrolling_intensity=”subtle” overflow=”visible”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-4-percent” column_padding_tablet=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_phone=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”right” top_margin_tablet=”24″ column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ font_color=”#000000″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” el_class=”home_employment_box employment_lawyer_content_box” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text]

Employees have the legal right to work without the fear of wrongful termination.

We serve clients in Orange County and the greater Los Angeles area at our Santa Ana office. We also serve clients as far north as the Bay Area and as far south as San Diego and San Bernardino.
