State Law On Discriminatory Termination
California’s Labor Code dictates which business practices are acceptable and legal for employers in our state. Labor Code 132(a) states that it is not lawful for an employer to discriminate against an employee for filing a claim to receive workers’ compensation benefits, nor is it lawful to threaten to engage in such discrimination.
Many Employers Face False Accusations
It is not uncommon for employers to face false discrimination accusations from employees (or prior employees) who are looking to get a settlement. Although it is no more legal to falsely accuse an employer of discrimination than it is to engage in discrimination, it can be challenging to prove that discrimination was not a factor in denying a workers’ compensation claim or in terminating an employee who filed a claim. This makes it all too easy for disgruntled employees to level accusations against their employers in the hope of besmirching their reputations and making a cash grab on their way out.
