What Is Wrongful Termination?

Wrongful termination is when an employer unlawfully ends an employee’s contract, either in violation of employment laws or the terms of an employment agreement. Understanding wrongful termination is the first step in protecting your rights.

Types Of Wrongful Termination

There are several types of wrongful termination that you should be aware of. These include:

  • Discrimination-based wrongful termination: This occurs when an employee is fired due to age, race, gender, religion or other protected characteristics.
  • Retaliation-based wrongful termination: This happens when an employee is terminated for whistleblowing or reporting harassment.
  • Breach of contract-based wrongful termination: This involves an employer violating the terms of an employment agreement.
  • Other types of wrongful termination: These can include violations of public policy or defamation.

Knowing these types can help you identify if your termination was unlawful.

California Laws That Protect Workers From Wrongful Termination

California has laws that protect workers from being wrongfully terminated. Laws such as the California Fair Employment and Housing Act and the California Labor Code offer protection against discrimination, retaliation and other unfair practices.

What Are The Signs Of Wrongful Termination?

Recognizing the signs of wrongful termination is crucial. Look out for:

  • Sudden and unjustified dismissal
  • Termination after reporting illegal activities
  • Employer failing to follow termination procedures
  • Being replaced by someone less qualified

If you notice these signs, you may have been wrongfully terminated.

What To Do If You’ve Been Wrongfully Terminated

If you suspect wrongful termination, consider these steps:

  • Gather evidence related to your termination
  • Document communications with your employer
  • Consult with a qualified employment lawyer
  • Submit a complaint to the appropriate authorities

Taking action promptly can help protect your rights.
