NDK Law Represents At-Will Employees in Wrongful Termination Cases

There are currently more than 20 legal grounds for making a claim for wrongful termination.

Irvine, CA (prHWY.com) May 9, 2012 - Orange County, California (April 16, 2012) - According to LawyersandSettlements.com, the global anchor publication of Online Legal Media, the number of wrongful termination lawsuits in the country has risen dramatically over the past two decades. US insurance agencies have identified wrongful termination for varying reasons - discrimination and sexual harassment ranking highest - as the single most frequent labor claim.

Prior to the enactment of US labor laws like the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, and the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, at-will employees found themselves especially vulnerable to wrongful termination. The employer's prerogative to fire or demote an at-will employee on a whim, without warning or due process, and for false or no reason was, in a number of cases, taken at face value.

Fortunately, increasing awareness among discharged at-will employees of their rights and of the nuances and exceptions of at-will employment has paved the way for more wrongful termination lawsuits. At-will employees in California are especially fortunate to have worked in one of the few US states that recognize all three exceptions to the employment-at-will doctrine: public policy, implied contract, and covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

There are currently more than 20 legal grounds for making a claim for wrongful termination. But when it comes to proving the violation of the express and/or implied terms of one's employment agreement, the burden of proof is most often on the discharged employee. This is why aggressive representation from an employment attorney Orange County, CA employees can count on is crucial.
