What Is Wrongful Termination?
Wrongful termination refers to the firing or laying-off of an employee for an illegal reason (one that violates our anti-discrimination, anti-retaliation or other labor laws). Federal and state laws prohibit discrimination in any aspect of employment, including:
- Hiring and firing
- Compensation, assignment or classification of employees
- Transfer, promotion, layoff or recall
- Job advertisements
- Recruitment
- Testing
- Use of company facilities
- Training and apprenticeship programs
- Fringe benefits
- Pay, retirement plans and disability leave
If you have been wrongfully terminated, contact York Law Firm to schedule a case evaluation with one of our wrongful termination attorneys based in Sacramento and Fairfield. (You may also call us toll-free at 800-939-1832 or complete a short questionnaire [subject to a consultation fee].) We also handle such employment matters as employment discrimination, retaliation, workplace harassment, workers’ compensation, and wage claim disputes.
Wrongful Termination Compensation
An employer who wrongfully terminates an employee may face statutory penalties or may be made to pay damages (including a severance package or unemployment compensation) to cover the employee’s lost wages and possibly additional expenses. In some cases, an employer may be forced to pay punitive damages. If you have a potential wrongful termination case, it is crucial that you hire an attorney with experience in the area of California employment law. At York Law Firm, our wrongful termination lawyers have precisely the experience you need to win your case.
