When a company terminates an employee without valid cause

Wrongful termination, also called illegal dismissal, happens when a company terminates an employee without valid cause. A termination of employment is considered to be illegal when there is discrimination involved—whether it be gender discrimination, age discrimination, disability discrimination, religious discrimination, pregnancy discrimination, national origin discrimination, or even worker’s compensation discrimination. If you were dismissed for reporting your employer’s illegal activities, then the termination is also considered wrongful. If the circumstances of your termination are unjust or against public policy, then it is considered to be a wrongful termination case, which gives you the right to claim for damages against your employer.

In California, even if your work arrangement with your employer is “at-will” employment, meaning, both you and your employer can terminate the employment at any time and for any reason, you can still be a victim of wrongful dismissal. At-will employment does not give your employer the right to violate your basic human rights against unfair or unlawful treatment in the workplace.
