Is it legal for your employer to fire you for doing so? Here\u2019s the problem, most states, including<a href=\"https:\/\/shegerianconniff.com\/dev\/about-our-employment-law-firm-shegerian-conniff\/\"> California<\/a>, have at-will employment terms. Your employer can end your position at any time without a reason.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understanding At-Will Employment<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Montana is the only state that doesn\u2019t follow at-will employment. The NCSL defines at-will employment as the employer\u2019s right to \u201cterminate an employee at any time for any reason, except an illegal one, or for no reason without incurring legal liability.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are exceptions to this rule.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An employer cannot fire you for one of the protected reasons provided by the EEOC.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An employer cannot fire you if it\u2019s against your employment contract<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An employer cannot fire you if you refuse to do something that is prohibited by law.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You cannot be fired for doing things that are in the public interest, such as performing jury duty.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You cannot be fired for exercising your rights, such as filing a claim for worker\u2019s compensation.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You cannot be fired for reporting your employer\u2019s violation of the law to authorities.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re a union worker with a clause that says union workers may only be fired if certain criteria are met, you cannot be fired without reason. Your employer must have a viable reason for the termination, such as drug or alcohol use at work, stealing from the company, or violating your contract.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Things You May Do That Justify Being Fired<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may have done something that justifies your termination while you\u2019re looking for a new job. Here are some of the common mistakes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your job search was done when you were at work and not on a break.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You used your company\u2019s computers and the internet to search for a new job.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You neglected your work duties, such as failing to answer phones while completing a phone interview.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You accessed company databases to find customers who might have a position for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve done something unethical or against company policies while searching for a new job, you can\u2019t argue if you lose your job. It may not be ideal for you, but it was a risk you took.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Is Wrongful Termination?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/shegerianconniff.com\/dev\/practice_areas\/wrongful-termination\/\">Wrongful termination<\/a> occurs when an employer fires you for one of the forms of discrimination that\u2019s prohibited by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). These are the types of discrimination that are illegal.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Age \u2013 Discrimination against anyone 40 or older.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Disability \u2013 Discrimination against anyone with a history of, perceived, or current mental or physical condition that limits abilities at work or requires reasonable accommodation.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Equal Pay \u2013 Unequal pay or company-sponsored employment benefits between men and women in the same workplace who perform the same job duties.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gender Identity\/Sexual Orientation\/Sex \u2013 A continuation of sexual discrimination that\u2019s based on a person being transgender or in a same-sex relationship or marriage.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Genetic Information \u2013 Discrimination against a worker due to their family history of a medical condition, disorder, or disease.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Harassment \u2013 Conduct that is unwelcome and affects your work and is based on any of the protected reasons in this list.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">National Origin \u2013 Discrimination based on where you came from.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pregnancy \u2013 Discrimination that occurs when trying to get pregnant, current pregnancy, or post-pregnancy and breastfeeding.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Race\/Color \u2013 Discrimination based on your race and\/or color of your skin.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Religion \u2013 Discrimination based on your religion.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Retaliation \u2013 Retaliation by someone you work with, a client, contractor, or employer after you report something they did wrong or file a harassment or discrimination complaint.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sexual Harassment \u2013 Harassment faced because of your sex or gender identity or unwelcome sexual advances or requests for sexual acts.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have evidence that your firing had to do with any of those protected classes, get as much evidence as you can. For example, after you\u2019re fired, your co-worker forwards you an email chain about how management used your job search to cover the truth about firing you due to your age. That\u2019s proof that can help your case.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be Discreet When Applying for Jobs<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep your search for a new job as quiet as you can. Fill out applications and send resumes and CVs at home from your personal computer. You can\u2019t bring a home computer and do it at work. You\u2019d still be using the company&#8217;s internet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to interviews, arrange as many as you can outside of work hours. If that\u2019s not possible, schedule them for your lunch breaks and days off. Use personal time if you need to.\u00a0 Don\u2019t try to pull off a video conference interview in your office during your lunch or break. Someone might overhear or walk in. If you can\u2019t wait until you get home, go to a coffee shop or quiet restaurant and see if they mind you doing it there with the purchase of a drink or meal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During your interviews, don\u2019t bad-mouth your current employer. Use discretion in how much you talk about. Instead of saying how your boss is misogynistic and overbearing, you could say that the workplace culture shifted and no longer meshes with your personality and strong work ethic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As long as you searched for a job on your personal time and have evidence that your termination wasn\u2019t for an allowable reason, you may have a valid case against your employer. Gather all of the evidence you can to help back your claim.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whenever you have any uncertainty, it pays to talk to an expert in California employment law. <a href=\"https:\/\/shegerianconniff.com\/dev\/\">Shegerian Conniff<\/a> is happy to discuss your circumstances, let you know if you have a valid complaint, and walk you through the next steps if you do.
