What Constitutes Wrongful Termination In San Diego?
Under California law, wrongful termination occurs when an employer dismisses an employee for reasons that are illegal or against public policy. Some examples of wrongful termination include:
- Firing an employee for discriminatory reasons, such as race, gender, age or disability
- Terminating an employee as retaliation for whistleblowing or reporting illegal activities
- Dismissing an employee for exercising their legal rights, such as taking family or medical leave or reporting unsafe work conditions
- Breaking the terms of an employment contract without just cause
California provides robust protections against wrongful termination. The Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and other state laws ensure that employees are safeguarded from illegal dismissal. My goal is to help you navigate these laws and obtain the justice you deserve.
Steps To Prepare For A California Wrongful Termination Claim
A well-prepared claim is crucial for a successful wrongful termination case. Here are some essential steps to take:
- Document everything: Keep records of all relevant communications, including emails, memos and performance reviews.
- Gather evidence: Collect any documentation or evidence that supports your claim, such as witness statements, pay stubs and company policies.
- Consult an attorney: Talk to a lawyer to understand your rights and the strength of your case.
- File a Complaint: If necessary, file a complaint with the appropriate government agency, such as the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) – I can guide you through this process.
Taking these steps can strengthen your case substantially while improving your odds of achieving a favorable outcome.
