What to Do If You Think You Were Wrongfully Terminated

If you believe you were wrongfully terminated, act quickly to protect your rights. 

  • Gather and save all records related to your employment and firing, including emails, text messages, performance reviews, pay stubs, schedules, and any disciplinary notices.
  • Write down a timeline of what happened while the details are still fresh, especially if you reported discrimination, harassment, wage violations, or unsafe conditions before you were fired. 
  • Do not sign a severance agreement, release, or other paperwork without legal advice, because you could give up important rights. 
  • If possible, identify coworkers who witnessed what happened or experienced similar treatment
  • Continue documenting any contact from your former employer after termination.
  • Speak with an employment attorney as soon as possible to evaluate your options and filing deadlines. Our firm can review your case, explain your next steps, and fight for the compensation you deserve. Call us today for a free consultation.

Preguntas frecuentes

¿Qué se considera despido improcedente?

Wrongful termination occurs when an employer fires an employee for illegal reasons under California or federal law. This can include termination based on discrimination, retaliation for reporting misconduct, or exercising protected rights like taking medical leave. Even in an at-will employment state like California, employers cannot violate laws, contracts, or public policy when terminating an employee.

What Are Common Reasons for Wrongful Termination?

Common reasons include:
• Workplace discrimination based on protected characteristics
• Retaliation for reporting harassment or wage violations, and whistleblower activity
• Taking protected leave
• Filing a workers’ compensation claim
• Refusing to participate in illegal activities

What Compensation Can You Recover?

If you were wrongfully terminated, you may be entitled to recover:
• Back pay for lost wages
• Front pay for future lost earnings
• Compensation for lost benefits
• Damages for emotional distress

In some cases, courts may award punitive damages and require the employer to pay your attorney’s fees and legal costs.

What Are Some Signs That You May Have Been Wrongfully Terminated?

Signs of wrongful termination include being fired shortly after reporting misconduct, receiving inconsistent or false explanations for your termination, or being treated differently than similarly situated employees.

A lack of prior discipline, sudden negative performance reviews, or termination after exercising legal rights, such as taking leave, may also indicate that your firing was unlawful.
