Can I Be Fired If I Have A Contract With My Employer?
While the vast majority of employees in California don’t have contracts, there are some employees in California that actually do have contracts. Some of those contracts are for specific time periods: one year, or for a specific job. The question comes up as to if they can terminate that contract. Sometimes, the contract has just cause provisions that say if they terminate you for just cause, they can cancel the contract. What’s clear in California is that, regardless of whether or not you have an employment contract or you’re considered at-will, all employees, both contract employees and at-will employees, are protected under California law from wrongful termination, unlawful harassment, and discrimination.
You must bear in mind that in order to protect your legal rights, it is vital to act swiftly and to seek the counsel of an attorney as soon as possible. It is in your best interest to keep this in mind.
