Legal Question in Employment Law in California

Due process and Skelly hearings, etc., apply to civil service employees. There may be sworn employees who are also civil service, but I don't think so. I'm pretty sure that all sworn employees are by definition NOT civil service. In any case, if you are not civil service, not under a union contract, and not under a personal employment contract, you absolutely are an at-will employee, with actually slightly less rights than a private enterprise employee (for example you don't get waiting time penalties if you are not paid your last check and vacation at the time of termination of employment).
