At-Will-Employment-What-It-Really-Means
The Fair Housing and Employment Act of California protects employees who have been fired unjustly by establishing a set of rules and regulations that make it illegal for an employer to dismiss an employee for discriminatory reasons and empowers workers to seek redress under the law.

Many employees falsely believe their rights are severely limited because California is an at-will employment state, meaning that any employee without an employment contract can be terminated at any time, for cause or otherwise. But if an employee is wrongfully discharged as a result of unlawful discrimination, there are remedies in place under state and federal law for an employee to file a wrongful termination claim and pursue compensation in the form of lost wages and benefits and reinstatement of their employment.

The Law Office of Fahim Rahman has been fighting for the rights of employees who have been wrongfully discharged by unscrupulous employers. Attorney Fahim Rahman is a highly-skilled and experienced wrongful termination lawyer winning wrongful termination cases against employers in a court of law and getting employees the compensation they deserve.

What Does At Will Employment Mean?

California is an at-will employment state which means that an employment relationship is maintained so long as the employer and the employee both wish it to continue. Should either party decide to terminate the relationship, each is free to do so at any time with little to no reason given.
However, an employer is NOT allowed to terminate an employee based on discriminatory actions that are illegal under the law. State and federal law protects employees against being dismissed from their position of employment based on protected characteristics such as race, color, gender, age, national origin, sexual orientation, or disability. The at-will rule also prohibits an employer from firing an employee as retaliation for participating in protected activity like filing a worker’s compensation claim, reporting sexual harassment, acting in the capacity of a whistleblower, making a request for reasonable accommodations due to a disability, taking medical leave, or other activities in which the employee has a legal right to participate.
Wrongful termination occurs when an at-will employer dismisses an employee for illegal reasons and this termination can result in an employee filing legal claims against his or her former employer.
But it’s also important to keep in mind there are some exceptions to the at-will employment relationship. Even though California is an at-will employment state, this type of arrangement is not applicable to all working relationships.
Under the law, an employee working under a good faith implied contract, a formal and implied employment contract, or as per public policy will supersede an at-will employment agreement. No employer may fail to comply with public policy by terminating an employee and in the event a standing employment contract or employment arrangement exists between both parties, the employee is not allowed to breach the terms of such a contract or agreement through relieving the employee of his or her duties.
