FIRED WITHOUT “GOOD CAUSE”? CONTACT SAN FRAN EMPLOYMENT ATTORNEYS

Are you a Bay Area employee that has been fired in spite of a written employment contract? Does your employment contract say that you would not be fired unless there is “good cause,” and you have done nothing warranting a termination? If so, you may have an employment claim against your employer.

If you have a written employment contract, the contract likely states what is defined as “good cause.” Your employer, however, may not include unreasonable clauses in the contract. If you believe that you have not done any of the things defined as “good cause” for termination, you may be able to sue your boss. In this case, you are likely arguing that your employer has breached the written contract because the contract said that you would not be fired without good cause, there was no good cause to fire you, and you were fired anyway.

If you believe that you fit the above description, your employer may have breached your employment contract. If this is true, in California you can sue for lost wages and benefits and potentially form of future wages. You may not sue for emotional distress. If you think that you have a claim against your boss, call Greenberg & Rudman LLP at 1-800-ALAWPRO or 1-800-252-9776. Call us for a free consultation.
