Legal Question in Employment Law in California

Termination of Employment

In the state of California are there employment termination procedure's that a company must follow to fire a employee after 6 months of employment

( i.e / Verbal Warnings of performance , 1st and 2nd write ups)

If the company feels that the employee is not performing to there standards are they supposed to give the employee the chance to achieve there quotas, or can the employer call out of the blue one day and say you arent making your numbers therfor you have been terminated?

However, if the company has on its own already established a proceedure that the regularly follow, they should not make exceptions to it unless it is something like the employee stealing or doing something really damaging.
