Los Angeles Wrongful Termination Lawyer
It can be stressful, distressing, and even embarrassing to be dismissed or let go from a job. Whether the termination comes as a surprise to you or not, the law protects you against unfair or wrongful termination. Wrongful termination is any firing or layoff that violates the law, including where an employer or a colleague discriminates or harasses you.
California Employment Law and Wrongful Termination
Most jobs in California are “at will,” meaning an employer can fire you at any moment for any reason or no reason at all, as long as the cause of termination is legal or lawful. However, there are some exceptions to at-will employment, including:
- Where you have a signed job contract with your employer specifying the terms of your employment and the duration of the contract
- Where there is an implicit contract or an agreement based on what your employer said and did. However, wrongful termination based on an implied contract can be challenging to prove.
Typically, the first thing you should consider after a job termination is whether the dismissal was legal or not. A skilled Los Angeles wrongful termination lawyer can help you with the evaluation while assisting you to get the compensation you need and deserve.
