Legal Question in Employment Law in California

I was fired for not having a subcontractor employee I-9 verified. I worked as an onsite const, mgr and the client wal mart has a policy that all workers who come on the jobsite have to be I-9 verified. My office did not verify and the result was I was let go. Is this proper dismissal?

Sounds like you were fired for actual 'cause' in failure to comply with company rules. Even without 'cause', there no laws against 'unfair treatment' or poor management, but in general, unless an employee is civil service, in a union, or has a written employment contract, they are an 'at will' employee that can be disciplined or fired any time for any reason, with or without �cause�, explanation or notice.
