Types of Employment Law Claims
In California, employers can hire and fire most workers at will. However, they can not fire or take adverse action versus workers for factors that breach the law or public policy. For example, a business can not fire staff members who defended their rights if the company participated in discrimination or employment harassment in the workplace.

California workers likewise have additional rights under the Unruh Civil Liberty Act and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA). If you're a member of a protected class who has actually suffered a hostile workplace, you might be able to submit a claim against your employer for employment discrimination.

- Wrongful termination
Discrimination.
