Legal Question in Employment Law in California

Unfortunately, there is no such thing as "due process" in most private employment relationships. Employment is presumed to be terminable at the will of either party. This means employers do not need a good reason to terminate an employee. They can do so for any reason, as long as that reaon is not prohibted by law, or contract. If you think either of those exceptions applies to you, consult with an employment lawyer in your area.

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� or explanation, other than for illegal discrimination, harassment or retaliation under the ADA [age], Civil Rights [race, sex, ethnic, religion, pregnancy, etc], Whistle-blower, or similar statutes. The employee's goal should be to keep the employer happy
