San Francisco Wrongful Termination Lawyers

Wrongful termination is a serious issue that affects countless employees each year. Being unlawfully fired can have devastating impacts on your career, finances and emotional well-being. At the Law Office of Jeannette A. Vaccaro, we are dedicated to helping those impacted by wrongful termination understand their rights. If you believe you have been wrongfully fired, consulting with an experienced San Francisco wrongful termination lawyer is crucial.

What is Wrongful Termination?

Wrongful termination occurs when an employee is fired for unlawful or impermissible reasons. Even in at-will employment situations, there are numerous protections in place to shield employees from unjust dismissal. Common grounds for wrongful termination include discrimination and retaliation for reporting illegal activities or unsafe working conditions.

Examples of Wrongful Termination

Terminating an employee for discriminatory reasons is unlawful and subjects employers to legal consequences. Here are some examples of actions that may qualify as wrongful termination:

  • Discrimination: Firing an employee due to their gender (including pregnancy), race, disability or other protected characteristics is discriminatory.
  • Retaliation: Dismissing an employee for raising concerns about workplace discrimination, reporting safety violations or complaining about unpaid wages and other labor code infractions.
  • Family or Medical Leave: Terminating an employee for using family or medical leave as guaranteed under law.

Legal Protections Against Wrongful Termination

Under California law, employees are safeguarded against wrongful termination and retaliation, ensuring a secure and fair workplace environment. The state’s stringent anti-retaliation statutes provide robust protections for whistleblowers—those who report illegal or unethical activities within their organizations. These laws prohibit employers from taking retaliatory actions such as harassment, intimidation, demotion or termination against employees who disclose violations of state or federal laws, or unethical business practices. At the Law Office of Jeannette A. Vaccaro, we ardently advocate for employees’ rights, protecting those who bravely come forward to report misconduct.
