At-will Employment Is No Longer An Excuse For
Illegal Conduct And Wrongful Termination

2

• California is an at-will employment state, which
  means (absent an employment contract) that unless
  the public policy or statutory authority
  prohibits the reason for terminating an employee,
  an employer may fire an employee for any reason.
  In the past, at-will employment has given
  employers the sense that they can fire employees
  for any reason, including prohibited reasons such
  as racial discrimination, using at-will
  employment as their defense. As wrongful
  termination attorneys know, employees are
  starting to fight back and juries appear to be
  listening to those employees.

What Do The Wrongful Termination Cases Have In
Common?

The former employees complaints all allege
that their rights are violated when they are
wrongfully terminated for retaliatory or
discriminatory reasons. The Los Angeles wrongful
termination attorneys know that even though
California may be an at-will employment state,
employees are still protected from being fired as
a result of discrimination or retaliation.
Wrongful termination cases can be a powerful
remedy for illegal employer conduct.

Retaliation Illegal retaliatory conduct occurs
when an employer fires an employee or takes
action that otherwise negatively impacts an
employees job because the employee participated
in activities or conduct that is legally
protected by California law.

Discrimination Discrimination occurs when an
employees job is in jeopardy because he or she
is a member of a class protected under California
law including gender, gender identity, race,
national origin, age, disability, religion,
political affiliation, marital status, and
military status. There are additional protected
classes under California law and you should
consult with an employment law attorney if you
believe you were discriminated against.
