Lawsuits Based on Statute or Public Policy

In California, it is unlawful to terminate an employee for an illegal reason. However, there are only certain, specific reasons that are illegal, which will support a wrongful termination lawsuit. In order to have a wrongful termination that will support a civil suit, an employee must prove that a substantial motivating factor for their termination was unlawful or in violation of California public policy. In California, illegal reasons for termination may be stated in a statute, or may be ascertained from public policy found in our constitution, statutes or regulations. For example, a statute that creates specific illegal reasons to terminate an employee is the Fair Employment and Housing Act, Government Code § 12940 et seq. (“FEHA”).
