Wrongful Termination in San Diego, California
Most California employees are considered “at will”, meaning they or their employer can terminate employment at any time for any reason, or for no reason at all. Unless you have a contract with your employer or are part of a union, you are most likely an “at will” employee. How can wrongful termination occur to an “at will” employee? It can occur for one of several reasons, all of which are illegal:
- Discrimination due to race, age, gender, pregnancy, or more
- Retaliation due to an employee’s intention of reporting illegal practices
- Termination when sexual harassment is involved
- Termination that is in violation of written or verbal employment agreements or company policy
If you have been fired, you may be eligible to receive a severance package, unemployment compensation, or more. Let counsel evaluate your case and see if you are eligible to file a wrongful termination claim.
