If you are 40 years of age or older, and you are fired from your job, you can’t help but wonder whether your termination was wrongful. Firing an employee on the basis of age if the employee is 40 years or older, when the employee is performing satisfactorily, can be wrongful termination and California and Federal law protects you against it. In fact, California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act protects such a person against any adverse action by the employer, including, reduction of work hours, pay cut, demotion, or being passed up on a promotion.
While laws exist to protect you, covered employers still violate these laws and fire employees just because they are 40 years or older. If this happens to you, this can be a trying and difficult situation. At The Law Office of George Moschopoulos, APC, a seasoned Orange County Employment Attorney can assist you in parsing out what happened and whether you may have a case against your employer.
