Wrongful Termination Lawsuit
Not all employees who have been fired from their jobs may file their wrongful termination lawsuit particularly in California, where the “at will’ employment rule is in effect. This means that your employer may discharge you from work, anytime and for no reason at all. However, there are certain limitations that may allow terminated employees to file their lawsuits.
Precisely, legal charges must be justifiable and well established. Here, you may seek the assistance of our credible and experienced employment attorneys to ensure that you are on the right track in obtaining justice and suitable reimbursements.
The following circumstances will give you the right to pursue a wrongful termination lawsuit:
Discriminatory Conduct of Your Employer
Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and other prevailing laws, your employer cannot discharge you from work solely basing it on your gender, religion, race, color, nationality, age and even pregnancy. Even you are an “at will” employee; your employer must have a “good cause” in terminating you.
Retaliation
As a law-abiding citizen, you have the obligation to report any unlawful activities of your company. Thus, your employer is prohibited in terminating you for divulging their illegal activities to the authorities or testifying against them in court. You should not also be fired because you initiated charges of harassment against them.
Character defamation
If your employer intentionally defames you to justify your termination, then you have all the rights to initiate a legal action. False accusation made by your employer against you will give your lawsuit more merits.
Breach of contract
Whether explicit or implied, your employer must adhere to the provisions of the employment contract. Yet, this will only apply if you have signed a contract with your company even before you start working with them.
