Employee Wins Wrongful Termination Action Over Misconduct Claims

EMPLOYEE WINS WRONGFUL TERMINATION ACTION OVER
MISCONDUCT CLAIMS
2
As a worker in California, you may look at losing
your job as a devastating event that you have no
recourse to prevent if the company claims you
violated your employment contract. However, if
the company does not follow its own procedures,
you could have legal recourse. At The Kaufman Law
Firm often counsel clients on their rights in the
workplace.
3
According to The National Law Review, one of
those rights may involve careful investigation of
claims of terminatable actions that may be made
against you by someone else. This was the case of
a former professional baseball player working for
the MLB Network. A media source reported that the
man had acted in a way that the company believed
violated the code of conduct as defined by a
clause in his employment contract.
4
The litigation filed by the former employee
claimed that the company accepted those reports
without conducting its own investigation to
determine if the allegations were true. His claim
also stated that the company threatened to
terminate him if he did not agree to amend his
contract based on the accusations against him,
and that the company caused him to lose other
contracts because it implied to the public that
he had admitted to the alleged misconduct.
5
A jury found that the company was guilty of
wrongful termination, as well as breaching the
employment contract, because it took action
without conducting a thorough investigation of
the reports. More information about termination
