CIGNA Wrongful Termination in Los Angeles – California
California is an “at-will” state, regarding the employment laws, that means you are allowed to work for an employer at that company’s preference. That can mean that if you work at CIGNA, then you may be fired for a reason that you do not understand. You can be fired for a good reason, bad reason, or no reason at all, and you can be terminated for the same reasons at any time. It also means that you can leave a company for any reason. The exceptions to this rule may be if you are hired on a specific contract, therefore, we will leave contractual hiring out of this equation. In general, an employer even knowing your job status is an “at-will” employee, cannot fire you as retaliation for your having gone to human resources for exercising your civil or employment related rights. For example, if you have been harassed on the job and go to your HR about it, then the employer or manager cannot fire you or terminate your employment as retaliation for your having “told” on the person who was harassing you on the job.
Does Your Status Need to Be an Employee, Not Working as a Freelancer, or Independent Contractor, to Recover Compensation for a Wrongful Termination?
There are many more jobs now that are considered temporary or even per diem, in terms of working for companies these days after the pandemic. But if you are seeking to make a claim for wrongful termination, you need to have been a hired employee at the company you are making the case against. If you are hired as a freelancer or independent contractor at a company, that is fine, and those are still great jobs to pursue. But you may have some trouble making a claim for wrongful termination, if you are not a formal employee at the organization or company. As a freelancer or independent contractor, an employer is not able to fire you or terminate your employment because of harassment, retaliation or for reasons related to discrimination, and you will want to determine if you were working as an employee under a misclassified status or not. Our legal team can help you make this assessment, and all that you have to do to start the process is to give us a call today. If an employer unfairly breached a contract with you by firing you without a cause or reason, you may also have a legitimate claim against that employer as well.
Even At-Will Workers Cannot Be Fired for Unlawful and Unfair Reasons
Even though most people work as an at-will worker in California, that is not going to give your employer carte blanche to fire you any time they see fit to do so. You cannot be fired if you are in a protected class, which means you cannot be fired for reasons related to your:
-
Nationality or heritage from another country of origin
-
Sex
-
Gender
-
Disability
-
Religion
-
Political affiliation
-
Sexual preferences
If you are similarly fired for asking for time off, such as wit the Federal Family and Medical Leave Act, then this would be considered an unlawful termination as well.
