Record-Breaking Verdicts for Employees
What happened before you were let go?
A termination may warrant a legal review if it was connected to any of the following:
- Speaking up at work
- Reporting harassment, discrimination, unpaid wages, unsafe conditions, or suspected illegal activity.
- Taking or requesting leave
- Exercising rights to protected medical, pregnancy, or family leave.
- Requesting an accommodation
- Asking for a workplace adjustment related to a disability or religious practice.
- Discrimination
- Being treated differently because of age, race, sex, pregnancy, disability, religion, or another legally protected characteristic.
Even if the employer called it a layoff, a restructuring, or a performance issue, the circumstances leading up to it may matter.
Not sure whether it was wrongful termination?
You don’t need to know which law applies before requesting a review. Just explain what happened, the reason your employer gave, and why you believe there was more to the decision.
California generally allows at-will employment, but an employer cannot fire someone for an unlawful reason. An unfair experience alone does not necessarily establish a legal claim.
Already started another job? You can still request a review of how your previous job ended.
