Wrongful Termination

At EmpLaw LLP, we understand that losing your job can be a distressing experience. However, when your termination is unjust or in violation of employment laws, it can have far-reaching consequences on your career, finances, and emotional well-being. Our dedicated team of employment law attorneys is committed to advocating for individuals who have been wrongfully terminated, ensuring that their rights are protected and seeking appropriate legal remedies.

Wrongful termination occurs when an employee is unlawfully fired or dismissed from their job. While employment relationships in California are generally at-will in nature, meaning that either party can terminate the relationship at any time and for any reason, there are important exceptions to this rule. It is illegal for employers to terminate an employee based on protected characteristics or in retaliation for exercising their legal rights.

1. Discrimination: Employers are prohibited from firing employees based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, age, or other protected characteristics under federal, state, and local anti-discrimination laws. If you believe your termination was motivated by discriminatory practices, our experienced attorneys can help assess your case and pursue appropriate legal action.
2. Retaliation: Employers are forbidden from retaliating against employees who engage in protected activities such as reporting workplace harassment, wage theft, discrimination, or illegal activities. If you faced adverse employment actions, including termination, as a direct result of exercising your rights, our expert employment law attorneys will work diligently to hold your employer accountable.
3. Breach of Employment Contract: If you have an employment contract that specifies the conditions under which your employment can be terminated, a wrongful termination claim may arise if your employer violates those terms. Our attorneys can review your contract and determine if a potential breach has occurred.
4. Violation of Public Policy: Some terminations may be deemed wrongful if they violate public policy principles. For example, an employer terminating an employee for refusing to engage in illegal activities or whistleblowing may be held accountable for wrongful termination.
