Exceptions To The Rule

There are exceptions to a company’s right to fire you under California’s employment laws. Some of these exceptions include:

• You’re a victim of discrimination
• You lost your position after lodging a complaint concerning sexual harassment, overtime, and wage issues or discrimination
• You were discharged in violation of a contract
• You took a leave from your job due to military service
• You had a long illness or took days off because your child was ill
• You refused to perform in a work environment that was not healthy
• You refused your employer’s request to violate the law
• You reported your employer’s illegal conduct (“whistle-blowing”)
• You took time off of work to vote

You Have Legal Rights

If you are terminated unlawfully, you may file a wrongful termination claim to recover lost wages and benefits, damages for emotional distress and maybe even your job back.

How To Protect Yourself

It may be a good idea to keep a record of the events concerning your firing because your employer may try to cover up an illegal termination.

It might be a good idea to keep track – in writing – of locations, dates and names of people involved in your performance reviews, off-hand comments, commendations and castigation about your work. It’s best to keep these notes in a safe place. You might also want to file a written complaint to your supervisor or company’s HR. Keeping this evidence can help your employment lawyer if you decide to take legal action.

I was fired by my employer without any verbal or written warning. Can I sue for illegal termination?

You need to know what the employer’s motivating factor for firing you was. If the factor was illegal, then you have a claim for wrongful termination.

I finally quit because my sales manager made my life so afflicted that I couldn’t handle it. Can I bring a wrongful termination lawsuit against her?

It is a constructive termination when a supervisor makes the conditions of your employment intolerable and forces you to quit. You may be able to bring a wrongful termination lawsuit against the company.
