What is Wrongful Termination in California?

Although California is an at-will employment state, where employers can hire and fire employees for well-established reasons or no reason at all. However, all California employers are prohibited from firing an employee for an illegal reason.

While not all employment terminations rise to the level of wrongful termination, there are several signs that your dismissal may be unlawful if discrimination, retaliation, violation of public policy, or other reasons have surfaced.

The most common types of wrongful termination originate from the following unlawful workplace behaviors.

Discrimination, including:

  • Age
  • Disability
  • Genetic Information
  • Harassment
  • National Origin
  • Pregnancy status
  • Race/Color
  • Religion
  • Sex or gender
  • Sexual Harassment
  • Sexual orientation, in California only

Retaliation, including:

  • Participating with or becoming a witness in an investigation with EEOC or a state agency
  • Refusing to participate in illegal or fraudulent activities of the employer
  • Reporting instances of discrimination or harassment in the workplace
  • Reporting the illegal fraudulent activities of the employer
  • Reporting unsafe working conditions
  • Uncovering unequal pay between women and men in the workplace

Violations of public policy, including:

  • Requesting allowable ADA accommodations for those with disabilities
  • Serving in the National Guard or military reserve
  • Taking time off for jury duty
  • Taking time off to vote
  • Using allowable time off as provided by the Family and Medical Leave Act or the California Family Rights Act
