In California, employers have the right to terminate employees based on business needs, but they do not have the right to violate a worker’s civil rights. Suppose you were terminated and believe it was due to discrimination, filing a disability or injury claim, reporting a safety violation to OSHA, or blowing the whistle on your employer’s illegal activities. In that case, you might have a wrongful termination claim.
At the Law Offices of Eric Boyajian, our attorneys aggressively fight on behalf of workers who lost their jobs when their employer retaliated or discriminated against them.
Employers know they can face consequences if they terminate an employee for illegal reasons -thus, unless an employer is very unintelligent or imprudent, it is highly unlikely they will admit that they are firing an employee for their age, disability, sexual orientation, or other such factors. It is more common for employers to cite other reasons when justifying an employee’s termination.
To show that you were wrongfully terminated, you will have to prove or provide sufficient evidence indicating that the reason your employer has given for firing you is not an accurate reflection of their true reason for doing so. This can be very difficult to do on your own. To optimize your chances of presenting a strong argument when filing a claim or lawsuit against an employer who you believe wrongfully terminated you, it is very helpful to coordinate with a legal professional who can assist you in
these matters.
