Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

It would be better if you post in detail what the facts are as to your situation as merely telling you the basis elements, which sounds more like a law school homework assignment, does not help you objectively in trying to determine if your factual situation fits into those elements.

First being able to prove you have a case, through a statutory or contractual violation, and damages. In general, unless an employee is civil service, in a union, or has a written employment contract, they are an 'at will' employee that can be disciplined or fired any time for any reason, with or without �cause�, explanation or notice, other than for illegal discrimination, harassment or retaliation under the ADA disability, Civil Rights [age, race, sex, ethnic, religion, pregnancy, etc], Whistle-blower, or similar statutes. The employee's goal should be to keep the employer happy and make the company money. That�s how they pay your wages. Now if the firing was illegal under those definitions, feel free to contact me.
