We all depend on our jobs to pay bills and live a good quality of life. But your job is more than just a source of income. It is a major part of your lifestyle. Many people spend more hours at their workplace than with their families. But what happens when a person is fired due to discrimination, retaliation, or unethical business practices? It can bring devastating effects on their finances. Unfortunately, it happens far too often in Southern California. My name is Jeffrey Rager and I am a Wrongful Termination Attorney in Pasadena. Whether a person is living paycheck to paycheck or has been a reliable worker for several years with the same company, it is vital to seek immediate action for victims of wrongful termination to recover the compensation they deserve.
Most of the time, if an employee is fired, he or she is unable to determine if the termination was legal or illegal. Most places of employment are at will, which means an employee can be fired at any time for any reason or none at all just as long as it isn’t illegal. However, there are some important exceptions worth mentioning to the at-will rule.
Protecting the Rights of Workers in Pasadena Against Wrongful Termination
Many employees feel powerless after losing their job. Because California is an “At will” state, many people never bring wrongful termination action against their former employer. It is important to understand there are laws designed to protect workers against wrongful termination based on any kind of discrimination, retaliation, or unlawful business practices. The best solution is to seek representation from an experienced legal professional with a track record of protecting the rights of each client and looking after their best interests. As a wrongful termination attorney in Pasadena, I have successfully represented countless men and women who have lost their jobs or have been forced to take demotions.
