Here Are 4 Employee Rights You Must Demand After
Wrongful Termination
2
One might think that it cannot get any worse
after youre wrongfully terminated.
Unfortunately, it can. Losing a job, per se, is
one of lifes most devastating experiences for
anyone. But being fired or being forced to quit
your job under unlawful circumstances is not the
only bad thing that can happen to you. Even if
you have been wrongfully terminated, youre
entitled to certain rights under California
employment law. Today, a wrongful termination
lawyer Matthew A Kaufman has outlined
four-employee rights guaranteed to outgoing
employees.

Right To Reasonable Notice Of Termination Unless
youre an at-will employee, you have a right to
receive reasonable notice of termination.
Employers in California are required to provide
employees with notice of termination if an
employee is terminated under contract and is part
of a union or collective bargaining agreement.

However, most employees in Los Angeles and all
across California are employed at an at-will
basis, which means employers can fire employees
for any reason or no reason at all and are not
required to give notice. Under some employment
contracts, employers are required to give two
weeks notice prior to termination. Every case
has employment circumstances, which is why its
highly advised to speak to a wrongful termination
lawyer in order to find out if your employer
violated the employment agreement by failing to
give you notice.

Right To Pursue Legal Action
Unless you and the employer agreed that you would
not sue the employer after your termination (the
agreement that is part of many employment
contracts nowadays), you have a right to file a
lawsuit against the employer alleging wrongful
termination.
6
However, In Order To Bring A Lawsuit, You Will
Need To Have Solid Evidence To Prove That The
Employer Fired You For Any Of The Reasons
Protected By Law

1. Discrimination (race, gender, religion, marital
   status, age, nationality, etc.)
2. Breach of contract
3. Constructive dismissal
4. An employer asking to commit an illegal act
5. Company policy is violated
6. Public policy is violated
7. Whistleblowing

Protection Against Constructive Discharge
Under California employment law, you have a right
to be protected against constructive discharge,
which occurs when an employee is forced to quit
his or her job because the employer has made it
impossible to continue working. Creating a
hostile environment or unbearable conditions
include discrimination, sexual harassment,
mistreatment, changing company policies, changing
work conditions, reducing pay, or other
non-work-related factors.

• Its not unheard of when employers in Los Angeles
  choose to harass an employee in order to force
  him to quit instead of simply terminating their
  contract. What many employees in California do
  not realize, however, is that you have a right to
  be protected against constructive discharge,
  their best wrongful termination attorneys in Los
  Angeles say.

9
Right To Receive Severance Pay

• More often than not, employees in Los Angeles and
  elsewhere in California are entitled to receive
  severance pay after termination. Whether or not
  your termination was wrongful is up to courts to
  decide, but severance pay must be paid to
  eligible employees.

10
Are you entitled to severance pay? While
California law does NOT require employers to
provide outgoing employees with severance
packages, which can include severance pay, health
insurance coverage and other benefits, you may be
entitled to claim severance benefits if you were
fired due to a closing department or facility, or
the company went bankrupt and had to fire a large
number of employees.
