Generally, discrimination and/or wrongful termination claims must be based on unlawful conduct as opposed to basic unfairness. For example, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act prohibits employers from discriminating, harassing, or retaliating against employees because of their race, age, gender, sexual orientation, sexual identity, disability, medical condition, national origin, ancestry, religion, marital status, and/or military status or service. If you believe your termination was based on any of those characteristics, you may indeed have a claim for discrimination and/or wrongful termination.

There are also other potential claims, though without a factual summary of what happened and why you believe you were actually fired, it is impossible to assess your situation. If you would like further information, please feel free to contact our law firm, Sarnoff + Sarnoff, at (877) 877-2545.
