Halavi Law, Inc. Represents Victims of Wrongful Termination

 

If you were fired for a reason unrelated to your job performance or for an unlawful reason, you may have a claim for wrongful termination. While California is an at-will employment state, meaning employers can generally terminate employees with or without cause, they cannot fire an employee for reasons that violate public policy, state, or federal laws.

 

Common Unlawful Reasons for Termination
 

Not every unfair termination is illegal, but the following reasons may constitute wrongful termination under the law:

• Refusing to break the law at an employer’s request

• Discrimination based on age, race, national origin, gender, disability, medical condition, religion, pregnancy, sexual orientation, or other protected classes

• Retaliation for reporting or complaining about unlawful discrimination or harassment (including sexual harassment)

• Retaliation for whistleblowing on violations of workplace safety laws, wage-and-hour laws, or other legal violations

• Taking medical leave, such as disability leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) or the California Family Rights Act (CFRA)

• Requesting reasonable accommodations for a disability

• Reporting employer misconduct, such as fraud, to government agencies (whistleblowing)

 

If you have been unlawfully terminated, you may be entitled to compensation for lost wages, lost benefits, and emotional distress. In some cases, you may also be eligible for punitive damages.

 

Forced Resignation & Constructive Discharge

 

Wrongful termination does not always require a formal firing. If your employer creates intolerable working conditions, forcing you to resign, the law may consider this a “constructive discharge”, which is treated as wrongful termination.
