Over $100 Million Recovered for Victims of Workplace Discrimination
Recognized by Super Lawyer for Excellence in Employment Law
Wrongful Termination Is Illegal in California
California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and Labor Code protect employees from being fired for unlawful reasons. Termination is considered wrongful when it violates public policy, breaches an employment contract, or occurs in retaliation for asserting your legal rights.
Employers cannot fire you for discriminatory reasons, reporting misconduct, requesting accommodation, or taking protected leave.
A termination may be wrongful if it occurs:
- After reporting workplace harassment or discrimination
- After requesting medical or family leave
- In retaliation for whistleblowing or filing a complaint
- After refusing to engage in illegal activity
- Based on race, age, gender, religion, or disability
At Falakassa Law, we help employees prove when unlawful motives were behind their termination — and pursue justice when employers break the law.
Common Signs of Wrongful Termination
Employers rarely admit they fired someone for an illegal reason. Instead, they use vague or false justifications such as “restructuring” or “performance.” Recognizing these warning signs is key to protecting your rights.
Potential red flags include:
- Sudden termination after reporting workplace issues
- Negative performance reviews without prior warnings
- Termination shortly after requesting time off or accommodations
- Replacement by a less qualified employee
- Contradictory or shifting explanations for your firing
If any of these apply to you, it may be more than unfair treatment — it may be a legal violation.
