Have you lost your job recently? Are you sure
that it was a legal firing? ?According to
statistics, 2 out of 5 fired employees have been
a victim of wrongful termination. But what
exactly is wrong with all these firings? To
find the answers, they contacted legal experts.
Here is what Los Angeles California wrongful
termination attorneys had to say about wrongful
termination.

There are hundreds of complaints each day against
discrimination in the workplace. Even though the
state laws prohibit any type of discrimination,
mistreatment, or abuse at the workplace, a large
number of employers abuse their positions of
power and punish those who work for them.

Most employees complain about the following types
of discrimination

• Gender-based discrimination
• Age-based discrimination
• Sex-based discrimination
• Religion-based discrimination
• Ethnicity-based discrimination
• National Origin-based Discrimination
• Disability-based discrimination
• Political Views-based discrimination
• Marital Status-based discrimination
• ?If you happen to witness any of the above-listed
  types of discrimination or become a victim of it,
  you should immediately contact the Equal
  Employment Opportunity Commission, as well as Los
  Angeles wrongful termination attorneys.

Is Your Employment at-will?

Most of Californias employees are at-will
employees. This means that they do not have a
working contract, and can be fired whenever their
employers feel like it. But does that mean that
they can be fired without any specific reason?
Yes, an employer in California does not need a
reason to fire his at-will employees.
6
However, that does not mean that these employees
have no legal rights. Even though they are all
at-will employees, they cannot be fired for the
wrong reasons. This means that if they report
illegal activity (blow the whistle), or unsafe
working conditions, they cannot be fired for
filing a report. Also, they cannot be retaliated
against as well. ?At-will employees have the
right to equal pay, the right to work overtime,
the right to receive promotion, and the right to
work in a safe working environment, without
discrimination and mistreatment. Every employee
is protected by both State and Federal laws, and
if discriminated, or terminated for any of the
wrong reasons, has the right to sue their
employer and receive proper compensation.

Prevention Of Benefits And Promotion
There are many cases where individuals were
terminated right before getting their benefits or
a big promotion. Employers do this to save money,
and usually, give no valid reason for the
termination. ?If you were terminated and were not
given a termination note or any reason at all,
you should speak with an employment lawyer and
seek their help, as you may have become a victim
of wrongful termination. It is important to act
quickly, while things are still fresh. Give
them a call, schedule your consultation, and
receive a free case review. Upon evaluation,
their attorneys will decide whether or not your
case falls under the category of wrongful
termination, and act accordingly. Dont let
anyone treat you differently, or discriminate you
for whatever reason. Seek their help, and they
will help you bring to justice those who did you
wrong.
