While most California employees are “at will,” this simply means the employee can be terminated at any time, and for any or no reason – as long as the reason is not illegal. The most common exceptions to the “at will” employment rules include a discriminatory termination (gender, age, ethnicity, disability, etc.) protected by law, termination in retaliation for complaining about discrimination, harassment or retaliation, and termination for whistleblowing about workplace health, safety or other violations of law.
Ashley Davenport has represented employees who have been wrongfully terminated for protesting against their boss for harassment and retaliation, complaining about wage and hour violations, and questioning the company’s unlawful business practices. The law in this area is complicated. Davenport Law can help you determine whether the facts and circumstances of your termination fall within an exception to the at-will employment rule.
Davenport Law can also assist in evaluating a severance agreement you received after termination and help you formulate a formal response or negotiate for a better offer.
