While there may be valid reasons for any of these to occur, a wrongful termination occurs when they happen in violation of a law, public policy, or an existing contract.
Many people, including some employers, falsely believe wrongful termination is impossible in California because it is an “at-will” employment state. This status means companies can use broad discretion when letting an employee go, and employees can leave a job for any reason.
However, the state’s at-will employment laws do not protect employers who violate state and federal protections for workers. Wrongful terminations can and do occur in Glendale and elsewhere in California.

The goals of a wrongful termination claim are larger than the job, anyway. We want to hold the employer accountable while recovering money for our client’s:
Our Glendale employment law team will review your income statements and other paperwork to document your financial and non-economic losses and estimate your future losses. This is essential because the compensation you could recover will depend greatly on the unique circumstances of your case and the damages you suffered.
Numerous federal and state laws and policies protect workers’ rights, including from wrongful termination. These laws and policies include the following:
When a worker loses their job based on a protected right, the employer can be held responsible for the wrongful termination. Generally, wrongful terminations fall into one of these categories:
Employers cannot legally fire you based on your inclusion in a protected category. This could include your age, race, ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation. Those with disabilities and medical conditions are also protected. Some types of discrimination may not seem like a direct fit but are considered discrimination. For example, you cannot be fired for being pregnant, as this is protected under discrimination laws related to sex and gender as well as medical conditions.
Sometimes, employers may retaliate against an employee for reporting illegal conduct, standing up for their protected rights, or complaining about unethical behaviors or illegal activities. Sometimes, the retaliation happens subtly. They may simply stop putting you on the schedule or take you off your usual shifts. If your employer fires you or reduces your hours as a retaliatory act, it could constitute wrongful termination.
If you have a written or verbal contract with an employer, they must uphold the contract. If your dismissal violates the employment contract, you have a breach of contract case against them. They must meet the stipulations in the contract to end your employment.
Sometimes, employers act out when a worker exercises their rights as a worker. For example, they take FMLA leave, are gone for military service, or take the paid time off promised in the employee handbook. If you believe your termination occurred because you exercised your rights as an employee, you could have a viable wrongful termination case.
Our Glendale employment law attorneys know the challenges in proving a wrongful termination case. Our legal team understands how daunting it can be to collect the necessary documentation showing that discrimination or retaliation occurred. Most employers continue to deny any wrongdoing and present strong defenses and excuses for why they terminated our client. This is why we must have strong evidence to show what really occurred.
Our evidence in these cases could include:
We must provide a compelling argument to show why we believe the employer’s termination of our client violated their legal rights. Our wrongful termination lawyers must have a strong understanding of employment law, applicable rights, and protected groups. We have the knowledge, experience, skills, resources, and reputation to take on any Glendale employment law case.
We encourage you to reach out to our team quickly after you realize your Glendale employer may have illegally removed you from the schedule or fired you from your job. Regardless of the excuses they use, your company cannot terminate you for a reason that violates your rights under state law, federal protections, or your employment contract or agreement.
The statute of limitations for wrongful termination may vary depending on the type of claim and the specific circumstances of your case. We must navigate several steps before we can file a wrongful termination lawsuit against your employer. The State of California has a specific process we must follow. For this reason, it is best to notify us of your concerns and let us assess your case as soon as possible.
When you hire our team for legal representation, we will take care of your case. You can continue to work your new job or focus on finding a better fit for you during this time.
