What is considered wrongful termination?

An example of wrongful termination would be if you have been terminated out of retaliation for reporting an illegal act. An illegal act such as sexual harassment, digital piracy, or any other violation of the law. There are many situations where wrongful termination would come into play. Being fired because the boss does not like you is unfortunately not illegal and does not count as wrongful termination.

A wrongful termination claim is on the termination violating public policy. The public policy must be 1) based on a constitution or statute, 2) intended to benefit the public, 3) established at the time of the termination, and or 4) substantial and fundamental. Determining whether the reason for an employee’s termination violated public policy is complex and should be done in consultation with licensed Wrongful Termination Lawyers Orange County. We are experienced and we specialize in employment law, which will benefit your case more so than general lawyers.

Another consideration in determining the legitimacy of the termination claim is causation – this is something that your Wrongful Termination Lawyers Orange County will help you with. Can the employee prove that the termination was motivated by a wrongful or malice intent which violates the employee’s right (unlawful termination)? Let’s assume an employee reports that he or she was sexually harassed by her superior. If she is terminated after reporting this then she would have both a Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) claim and an unlawful termination claim that is valid. To win the claim she must prove she was terminated because she had reported the sexual harassment incident. Of course, her employer could argue that they had terminated her for another reason, such as insubordination, subpar work performance, etc. If this were the case a Wrongful Termination Lawyers Orange County could help you!

Proving what the actual reason for the termination was would require evidence on both sides, the employer, and the employee, so it is essential to hire someone experienced with employment law like us, your Wrongful Termination Lawyer. It would be important to interview witnesses and obtain documents that would support your claim that the employer terminated you in violation of the employee’s rights. Identifying the witnesses and evidence that will support the unlawful termination claim is best done in consultation with a licensed unlawful termination lawyer in Orange County who has experience proving unlawful termination claims at trial.
