What is Wrongful Termination?

Wrongful termination occurs when an employee is fired or laid off for unlawful reasons, which may include complaining about a hostile workplace, an issue or concern at work, discrimination or other forms of harassment. Wrongful termination can also include “constructive termination,” which occurs when an employer makes working conditions so intolerable and creates such a hostile workplace through its actions or directives, that an employee is forced to quit. It is important to consult with a lawyer if you believe you have been wrongfully terminated. Our UELG Wrongful Termination Lawyer team can help you prove your case, and help to hold your employer liable.

Reasons for Wrongful Termination Claims in California

Losing a job is hard, but being unfairly fired can be even more devastating. If you believe you were terminated unfairly, you may be able to sue your employer. At UELG Employment Law, we have encountered numerous wrongful termination claims. It is crucial to understand and recognize what constitutes wrongful termination, and we can help you do that. California wrongful termination claims can typically involve the following:

Discrimination

Regardless of a worker's race, color, national origin, ancestry, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, age, or disability, these factors are never grounds for termination. You may have a claim for wrongful termination if you were fired for, or you were forced to quit because of, any of the reasons listed above.

Retaliation

An employee who reports unlawful discrimination, harassment, or other workplace behaviors cannot be terminated because of the reporting as this may be considered retaliation. You may have a claim for wrongful termination if you are fired for blowing the whistle on unlawful acts or disclosing them to your employer or others.

Violation of an Employment Contract

Your employer is obligated to uphold the terms of any employment contract you have with them. Your employer may have wrongfully terminated your employment if they did so in violation of the terms of your employment agreement.

What is Wrongful Termination under Employment Law?

Wrongful Termination, in the context of employment law, refers to the unlawful termination of an employee’s contract or employment without legal justification. It typically involves termination in violation of employment contracts, labor laws, anti-discrimination laws, or retaliation for exercising legal rights.

How can I prove that my termination was Wrongful?

Proving Wrongful Termination often involves providing evidence that demonstrates a breach of employment contract terms, violation of labor laws, or discriminatory intent. Documentation, witness statements, performance reviews, and any communications related to your termination can be crucial pieces of evidence.

What remedies are available for victims of Wrongful Termination?

Remedies for Wrongful Termination can vary but may include reinstatement, back pay, front pay (compensation for future lost wages), compensatory damages for emotional distress, punitive damages (if applicable), and attorney’s fees. The specific remedies available depend on the laws and circumstances surrounding the case.
