Employees who are fired in violation of an employment contract, for discriminatory reasons, or for exercising certain legal rights may have a wrongful termination claim.
In California (as in other states), most employees work at will, which means they can be fired at any time, with or without notice.
However, California has created a number of illegal reasons for termination, which are off limits for employers.
