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

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. If an employer has wrongfully terminated you or somebody you care about, contact the wrongful termination attorney Los Angeles at Rager Law Firm. They will investigate your claims and work to secure any compensation you may be entitled to. Whether you have been terminated for discriminatory reasons, retaliation, or something else, they are ready to help.

  1. 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.

  3. 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.

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

  5. Discrimination occurs when an employee’s 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.

  6. If you have been wrongfully terminated, contact a wrongful termination attorney in Los Angeles with The Rager Law Firm to discuss your claim and resulting damages. Their attorneys are employee advocates who want to see employers held accountable for their wrongful conduct.
