Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file a wrongful termination claim in California?
For most claims under FEHA you must file a complaint with the California Civil Rights Department within three years of the violation. For claims under federal law like Title VII you have 300 days to file with the EEOC. Deadlines vary so check with a lawyer promptly.
Can I be fired for reporting safety violations at work in El Cajon?
No. California law prohibits retaliation against employees who report workplace safety hazards or file workers compensation claims. You may have a claim for wrongful termination if you were fired for whistleblowing under Labor Code section 1102.5.
