California is an at-will employment state, but that does not mean your employer can fire you for any reason. If you were terminated because of your race, gender, age, disability, national origin, religion, or sexual orientation — or because you reported illegal conduct, filed a workers' compensation claim, or took protected leave — your termination may be unlawful.
​
What Constitutes Wrongful Termination in California?

Wrongful termination occurs when an employer fires an employee in violation of state or federal law, public policy, or an implied employment contract. Common wrongful termination claims include termination based on a protected characteristic under FEHA, retaliation for whistleblowing or reporting illegal conduct, termination for filing a workers' compensation claim, and constructive discharge — where your employer made working conditions so intolerable that you were forced to resign.
​
What You May Be Entitled To

If your termination was unlawful, you may be entitled to recover lost wages and future earnings, emotional distress damages, punitive damages in cases of malicious conduct, and attorney's fees and costs.
