Wrongful Termination And At-Will Exceptions
In terms of their enterprises, employers do not have unrestricted hiring and firing authority. Businesses are required to follow all applicable public policies, the guidelines set forth in corporate policy or an employee contract, and any additional terms and guidelines. Due to these factors, there are still several at-will job termination exceptions that California courts have determined to be unconstitutional, such as:
Discrimination/Harassment: Any protected trait, including race, religion, gender, age, ability, sexual orientation, and political beliefs, cannot be used to justify firing a person.
Retaliation: Employees who disclose their employer’s breaking of the law cannot be dismissed. Similarly, the employer cannot fire an employee who refuses to carry out an unlawful act.
Protected Absences: Employees are legally entitled to take time off for reasons such as jury duty, family or medical emergencies as described in the Family and Medical Leave Act, and other legitimate reasons.
Courts consider constructive discharge to be unlawful when an employer creates or fails to remedy hostile working conditions that force an employee to quit their position.
