What are the Grounds for a Wrongful Termination Claim in California? 

Terminating an employee is a difficult decision and can often have legal consequences. If you have been wrongfully terminated from your job, it is important to understand the law behind wrongful termination claims in California. The Law Offices of David R. Denis, P.C., located in Los Angeles, helps clients navigate their wrongful termination claims. 

What Constitutes Wrongful Termination? 

In the state of California, employers must follow certain laws when terminating an employee. An employer cannot terminate their employees based on discriminatory reasons such as race, gender, age, disability or religion. They also cannot terminate an employee if they are retaliating against that person for filing a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). In addition, an employer cannot terminate an employee if they are exercising their rights under federal labor laws or state labor laws. This includes taking time off to vote or serve on jury duty, whistleblowing or reporting violations of workplace safety standards to the government authorities. If any of these conditions have been violated during your termination process, then you may be able to file a wrongful termination claim against your employer. 

Unlawful Practices During Termination Process 

In addition to grounds for wrongful termination outlined above, employers must also adhere to certain guidelines when terminating an employee’s employment contract and issuing severance packages. For example, employers must provide all necessary documents related to the termination and explain all benefits that will be provided upon leaving the company such as severance pay and unused vacation days. Employers must also meet all deadlines outlined in any agreements made with employees regarding their terms of employment and provide thorough documentation supporting their decision to terminate employment whenever requested by the former employee or their attorney. Any failure by an employer to follow through on these requirements is considered unlawful practices during the termination process and may result in the filing of a wrongful termination suit against them by their former employee(s).
