Employment questions, cited
Can I be fired without a reason in California?
Usually yes: Cal. Lab. Code § 2922 presumes employment is at-will, meaning either side may end it at any time. But the reason cannot be unlawful: termination based on a protected characteristic (Cal. Gov. Code § 12940), for whistleblowing (Cal. Lab. Code § 1102.5), for taking protected leave, or in violation of public policy supports a wrongful termination claim despite at-will status.
How long do I have to sue for wrongful termination or discrimination?
For claims under the Fair Employment and Housing Act, you generally have three years from the unlawful act to file a complaint with the California Civil Rights Department (Cal. Gov. Code § 12960), then one year from the right-to-sue notice to file in court (Cal. Gov. Code § 12965). Common-law wrongful termination claims run two years under Cal. Code Civ. Proc. § 335.1.
What overtime pay am I owed in California?
Non-exempt employees earn 1.5× their regular rate after 8 hours in a day or 40 in a week, and 2× after 12 hours in a day, under Cal. Lab. Code § 510. California's daily overtime rule is broader than federal law. Misclassification as "exempt" or as an independent contractor (tested under Lab. Code § 2775's ABC test) is a frequent source of unpaid-overtime claims.
When must my final paycheck be paid after I quit or am fired?
Immediately at termination if you are discharged (Cal. Lab. Code § 201), or within 72 hours if you quit without notice (Cal. Lab. Code § 202). A willfully late final paycheck accrues waiting-time penalties of a full day's wages for each day late, up to 30 days, under Cal. Lab. Code § 203.
Is it illegal for my employer to retaliate against me for reporting violations?
Yes. Cal. Lab. Code § 1102.5 prohibits retaliation against an employee who reports conduct they reasonably believe violates a law or regulation, internally or to a government agency. Separate anti-retaliation rules protect wage complaints (Lab. Code § 98.6) and discrimination complaints (Gov. Code § 12940(h)). Remedies can include reinstatement, lost pay, and civil penalties.
