California law prohibits employers from terminating or otherwise taking material adverse action against employees for reporting unlawful conduct (for example, reporting a health and safety violation that puts workers or the public at risk or that your company is not correctly paying its employees). The law also prohibits employers from taking adverse action against employees who refuse to engage in illegal activities. In order to qualify for protection, an employee must have a reasonable, good faith belief that the conduct at issue is unlawful.

If your employer has subjected you to discipline, discharge, or any other adverse employment action after you reported or protested unlawful conduct, contact Rukin Hyland Doria & Tindall to schedule a free phone consultation.
