Suing Your Employer After Being Wrongfully Terminated

Answer:

We recently received a call from a client who worked in Los Angeles, and the client asked if he could sue his employer because he believed he was wrongfully terminated. Generally speaking, in California, employees are at-will and employers can terminate them for any reason, as long as it’s not something illegal. For an employer, it’s illegal to fire someone based on discrimination of their race or gender, national origin, religion, sexual preference, marital status, military or veteran status. It’s also illegal to terminate an employee for something that’s against public policy.
