What Is Wrongful Termination Under California Law?

California is an "at-will" employment state, which means your employer can fire you for almost any reason — or no reason at all. However, there are important exceptions. If your termination crossed certain legal lines, it may qualify as wrongful termination, and your employer may owe you substantial compensation. You may have been wrongfully terminated if you were fired for: • Your race, gender, age (40+), disability, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, or other protected characteristic
• Reporting unsafe working conditions, wage theft, or illegal activity (whistleblower retaliation) • Filing or intending to file a workers' compensation claim • Taking legally protected leave under FMLA, CFRA, or pregnancy leave • Refusing to participate in illegal conduct by your employer • In violation of an implied contract or company handbook that promised fair treatment • After reporting workplace harassment or discrimination (retaliation)

Compensation You May Be Entitled to Recover

A successful wrongful termination claim in California can result in significant financial recovery. Depending on the facts of your case, you may be entitled to: • Lost wages and back pay from the date of termination • Future lost earnings (front pay) if reemployment is difficult • Compensation for emotional distress and mental anguish • Punitive damages if your employer acted with malice or oppression • Attorney's fees and litigation costs (in many discrimination cases) • Reinstatement to your former position, if desired Every case is different. The strength of your claim depends on the evidence, your employment history, and how clearly the law was violated. That is why a free consultation with our Glendale wrongful termination attorneys is the most important first step you can take.
