Understanding California Employment Laws California workers that are classified as “at will” workers may find themselves in danger of being terminated from their workplace for virtually any reason or even if it is an unjust one for no reason in the slightest. Normally, an employee who has been working for an organization for less than five years and does not have an employment contract, may be considered an “at will” employee under the California employment laws. To successfully file a wrongful termination claim, the termination must have violated some fundamental right. Simply put, this means that the state regulation federal statute or constitutional provision should have already been violated by the termination. For example, when the company orders an employee to do something which is against regulations, the law, ordinance or statute, the employer cannot lawfully fire that worker for refusing to do this kind of thing. One may pursue this in cases such as when an employee complains about what they believe is a violation of the law including failure to pay overtime, late payment of wages or workplace safety problems and is fired because of this. Another infringement that would lead to a wrongful termination claim comes up when the employee’s authentic reason behind letting go of the worker is dependent on the employee’s gender, age, disability, religion or national origin. Even though such discriminations are under the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, they may also lead to a common law claim as they may be in breach of the public policy. Similarly, this also is true for termination made in retaliation for a worker’s opposition to or complaints about discrimination or harassment on any one of the protected classifications. Consider the example when an employee complain about sexual harassment and is criticized at work, or is written up, disciplined or fired for it. In such a case, they’d have a claim for retaliation under the Fair Employment and Housing Act as well as at common law.

Other terminations might be illegal as they’ve been prohibited under different laws. Some of these include the firing of employees based on sexual orientation or those that take maternity or medical leave. Workers who have to take leave as a result of a serious medical condition or must care for a parent or child that is in such a condition, are protected under what the law states. The protection under law applies if they have worked for the company for more than a year or more than 1250 hours during the previous year or the organization has more than 50 workers within a seventy-five-mile radius. State and Federal laws are passed to protect workers against wrongful termination. Normally, these laws prohibit termination predicated on race, age, gender, nationality, religion, and handicap.Study: My Understanding of Policies
