Did Your Employer Act in Bad Faith?
If your employer's actions were clearly unfair, you may have a viable case to file a claim for breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing.
Below are some examples of cases where employers may have acted in bad faith:
- Termination or transfer of employees to prevent them from receiving sales commissions.
- Making up reasons to fire an employee when the true motivation is to replace them with someone who can be paid much less.
- Deceiving employees about the possibility of promotions and salary increases.
- Not clearly describing the job. For example, deceiving employees about travel requirements, weekend assignments, etc.
- Repeated transfer of employees to remote or undesired functions with the intention of forcing them to resign.
Did Your Employer Violate Public Policy?
It is against California Labor Law for an employer to violate public policy when terminating a worker's employment relationship. According to California Labor Legislation, it is illegal to terminate workers, for example, for taking time off to serve on a jury; taking time off to vote; performing military service or reporting illegal or harmful activities to your employer. Some states, such as California, also prohibit employers from firing workers because they have exercised a legal right, such as filing a workers' compensation claim for a work-related injury or reporting an occupational safety violation.
Did You Suffer Discrimination by Your Employer?
Discrimination against an employee on the grounds of race, skin color, sex, religion, age, nationality, disability, pregnancy or sexual orientation is illegal in California. If you have been discriminated against in employment, you must file a complaint with a federal or state agency before filing a wrongful termination lawsuit against your employer in court.
