Wrongful Termination In California?

Protection From Retaliation

• Federal and state laws provide a wide array of
  protections for workers. These protections range
  from required safety procedures to protection
  from discrimination. When an employer violates
  these rules or regulations, it can face fines and
  legal liability.
• Sometimes, an employer will terminate an employee
  in an attempt to keep violations private or get
  back at the employee for reporting an incident.
  This practice is not only unethical, but it is
  also illegal in most circumstances. If you have
  asserted your rights and gotten fired as a
  result, you need to talk to a Los Angeles
  wrongful termination lawyer as soon as possible.

Employee Rights

Rights Granted to Employees by Law
Safety requirements under OSHA or other laws
Wage and hour regulations
Family or medical leave under FMLA
Freedom from discrimination or harassment
Workers compensation benefits
Protection from hazardous substances

If you report violations of any of these rights,
your employer cannot fire you because of your
complaint.

Protections
You are also protected under California law if
you report that your employer is engaging in
illegal activities or you are terminated because
you refuse to take part in unlawful activities.
This protection is commonly known as
whistleblower protection. It includes things
like reporting anti-trust violations and
violations of wage laws, for example.

Common Law Wrongful Termination Protections
Under common law in California, employees can sue
for wrongful termination if they were fired for a
reason that violates public policy. Where an
employer encourages or requires an employee to do
something that would be contrary to public
interests, that could create a wrongful
termination claim. If, for example, an employer
wants an employee to put waste in a lake or river
and then fires the worker when they refuse, that
could be a wrongful termination situation.
Although most of the protected activities are
illegal under other statutes, that is not always
the case. You can still have a wrongful
termination claim when the action was not
necessarily unlawful, but it is not publicly
accepted or desirable.
