2. California is an “at-will” employment state – meaning an employer hires you at will and can terminate you at will. There is a lot of unfairness in the workplace, but that is not necessarily wrongful termination.

3. What is Considered Wrongful Termination? There are quite a few misconceptions out there involving “wrongful termination” in the legal sense. You have an employment contract, an employer can pretty much fire you or lay you off for almost any reason at any time. They do not need to have a great reason to do it and they can even make a mistake in firing you. BUT, they can’t fire you or lay you off for an unlawful reason, as defined by California law – that would be “wrongful termination.”

4. First of all, the attorney must get the whole story from the employee who thinks they have been wrongfully terminated. Once the attorney has all of those facts, he or she can help the employee determine whether or not it was simply an unfair decision on the part of the employer or unlawful wrongful termination. There is quite a bit of case law on wrongful termination, so there are all kinds of nuances. How Can an Attorney Help in a Wrongful Termination case?

5. If I Feel I Have Been Wrongfully Terminated, What Can I Do? You know California employment law, it is doubtful that the employee layperson would be able to tell whether or not they had been wrongfully terminated. There is no question that there are grossly unfair practices and unfair treatment of employees.
