WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOURE WRONGFULLY TERMINATED?

• Its horrible when you get fired. Now you have to
  find a whole new source of income without any
  notice ahead of time. Its even worse when you
  know it wasnt fair. You may have a case for
  wrongful termination and not even know it. Most
  employees in the state of California can be
  terminated for any reason. However, this isnt
  always the case and people are often mistaken by
  that. What does wrongful termination really mean?
  This is when an employee is fired for unlaw
  reasons.

BASIS ON SUING

• In order to sue, you will need to prove that it
  was for an unlawful reason. This includes being
  fired over
• Race
• Pregnancy
• Mental disability
• FMLA or CFRA
• Political affiliation
• Gender Identity
• Religion
• National Origin
• Sexual Orientation

• There are several other examples where your
  termination can be deemed unlawful. It is usually
  a reason under the Californias Fair Employment
  and Housing Act (FEHA). FEHA inhibits
  discrimination based on religion, race, national
  origin, age (40 years and above), , sex or sexual
  orientation, marital status, mental or physical
  disability, or pregnancy and conditions that come
  with pregnancy.

AT WILL EMPLOYMENT

• It is a common misconception that if you are an
  at-will employee then you cannot claim wrongful
  termination. At-will employment means that the
  employee doesnt have a contract with the
  employer and they can be terminated by the will
  of the company at any time. This is not an excuse
  or a pass for a company to commit wrongful
  termination. If an employer fires an employee
  based on a protective characteristic such as race
  then the employee has the grounds to claim
  wrongful termination.

WHISTLE BLOWING

• Youve probably heard this term before. When you
  whistle blow this means that you report illegal
  or an unsafe working environment to the employer,
  law enforcement, or a government agency. If you
  complain about an unhealthy or unsafe work
  environment Labor Code section 6310 will protect
  you. If you complain or refuse to take part in
  illegal activities being done by your employer
  then you are protected under the Labor Code
  section 1102.5.

GETTING FIRED IS OVERWHELMING ALONE

• Getting wrongful termination for a protected
  right is even worse. Its unfair when you get
  taken advantage of by your employer. When dealing
  with this delicate subject matter, you want
  someone who is experienced. Matthew A. Kaufman
