In California, What Is Considered An Illegal Firing?

Employer-employee relationships in California are typically “at-will” agreements. An employer or employee may end the employment with or without cause and with or without notice unless a contract specifies otherwise. Still, you may only be fired for a legal reason. You cannot be fired because of your race, sex, nationality, orientation, religion, disability, or condition of pregnancy. You cannot be terminated for requesting a disability accommodation, overtime, rest breaks, or lunch breaks. You also may not be fired these reasons:

• Taking a family, pregnancy, or medical leave
• Opposing an employer’s or coworker’s illegal activity
• Your family or marital status
• Your political affiliation or for taking the time to vote
• Your refusal to enter a hazardous work site
• Your absence from work for jury duty
• Your refusal to sign a non-compete agreement

Our wrongful termination lawyers know the anxiety that a wrongful termination can generate. When you are fired for one or more of these reasons, your rights have been violated. If you are wrongfully terminated, we try first to negotiate a settlement out-of-court. If a negotiated settlement is unavailable, we advocate aggressively for you at trial. We thoroughly assess every detail of your case; then we fight for the result you want and need and the justice you deserve.
