Title: Three Things To Look For In Wrongful Termination
1Three Things To Look For In Wrongful
Termination
2No one wants to get fired, especially in this
economy. With the ups and downs of coronavirus,
getting fired from a job is the last thing they
want to think about. Yet, even during a global
pandemic, employers will do shady dealings.
Wrongful Termination is more than just feeling
slighted by your job. Its not about hurt
feelings or pride. Wrongful termination is a real
issue in the workplace. So much so that there is
a whole government department dedicated to it
the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. As
wrongful termination attorneys in Los Angeles at
the Kaufman Law Firm, their job is to take up
your claim after the EEOC gives them the green
light.
3Tip 1 At-will Is Not An Excuse
California is an at-will employment state. This
means that an employer can fire you for any
reason or no reason at any time. However, there
are laws and regulations that are in place to
protect people from getting fired due to
discrimination. For example,
4- An employer cannot fire an employee because of
their race, gender, or age.
- An employer cannot fire for retaliation for
employee reporting or complaining about unethical
business or behavior.
- An employee cannot be fired because they were
sexually harassed, and the employer is concerned
about you telling on them.
- An employer cannot fire someone by violating an
existing or implied employment contract.
- And, finally, an employer cannot fire an employee
if they are a whistleblower.
5These regulations and laws are put in place
because an employer does not have the right to
just fire people. Even though at-will says there
doesnt have to be a reason, you are entitled to
make sure you were not fired for those reasons
listed above.
6TIP 2 GO TO EEOC
- The EEOC is the first step. Either you can file,
or you can ask us to help you with the filing.
State and federal law provide a timeline for when
an employee can file a suit against their
employer. Typically, the employee has 180 days to
file a complaint with the EEOC. The EEOC follows
up on the claim. Once the claim is legitimized
and the issue is still not resolved, the EEOC
will give notice that the employee can now have
the right to sue.
7Tip 3 Hire Attorneys With Experience
- Discrimination cases are not easy. They require
lots of paperwork, depositions, and finding the
root of discriminatory behavior. Their attorneys
at The Kaufman Law Firm have over 20 years of
experience. They know what it takes to move your
claim to the right court to get the right answer.
