Wrongful Termination in California
Most California employees are "at will." "At will" employment means that there is not a binding contract for employment. The employer may choose to terminate the employee without reason or notice and the employee may terminate employment without reason or notice.
There are specific actions which are not acceptable under California laws and federal laws. Our attorneys pursue employers who violate these laws and wrongfully terminate an employee. Wrongful termination may result from:
-
Whistleblower retaliation
-
FMLA retaliation
-
Other family leave retaliation
Constructive Termination
At Scott & Nichols, we believe that constructive termination is considered a form of wrongful termination. Constructive termination occurs when an employee is forced to leave a position voluntarily due to hostile working conditions, such as:
-
Repeated unjustified criticism of a supervisor, manager, or other superior
-
Excessive yelling, cursing, name calling, humiliating by a supervisor or other
-
Harassment by an employer
-
Continued harassment by coworkers that is not addressed by management
Employee Advocacy
We recognize that adverse employment actions can impact an individual both financially and emotionally. In addition to lost wages, an individual may require psychological counseling or other treatment. Our attorneys offer compassionate guidance and advocacy to help employees achieve compensation and justice.
