FAQ
If an employer takes adverse action (like discharge, discipline, demotion, or threat thereof) against an employee within 90 days of the employee exercising rights under specific Labor Code provisions, it is presumed to be retaliatory.
FEHA Retaliation – 3 Years You have 3 years from the date of the termination to file an administrative complaint with the California Civil Rights Department (CRD, formerly called DFEH for Department of Fair Employment and Housing).
If your termination violates state or federal employment laws, it may be deemed wrongful. Common reasons for wrongful termination include discrimination based on race, gender, age, disability, religion, national origin, or sexual orientation.
Whistleblower Retaliation and Sarbanes-Oxley Act – 3 Years In California, these are generally covered by California Labor Code section 1102.5 LAB. Claims made under this statute have to be filed within 3 years.
Lies, evasions, deliberate inaction, lack of communication, and other forms of interference or obstruction. These are all potential breaches of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing. If you're fired under these circumstances, you could have a claim for wrongful termination in California.
To prove retaliation, you must establish a causal connection between your protected activity and the adverse action taken by your employer. Provide evidence showing that the adverse action occurred shortly after you engaged in protected activity, demonstrating a direct link between the two events.
Employer retaliation happens when an employer imposes penalties on an employee who participates in legally protected activities, such as reporting harassment incidents or requesting family leave.
