How Attorney can help you when you Fired during on Leave?


Every employee in the state of California has legal rights. However, sometimes these legal rights are taken for granted by their employer, who uses his position of power to neglect the right of the employees and do as he/she pleases.

Is there anything you can do when fired during a leave?

Here is how an attorney can help you deal with the situation.

Understanding Your Employment Type

There are 2 types of employment in the USA:
  • At-will employment
  • Employed by contract 
The first one gives employers greater rights, such as firing an attorney without having to provide much reason or evidence behind it. The latter, however, provides employees with more rights and protects them from any “wrongful” activities. In both cases, employees have the right to a fair and equal employment and are entitled to have days off, as stated in their hiring terms.

The question is: can you get fired on your day off?

The answer is always NO.

If you have been fired on your day off, you have to contact a skilled and knowledgeable attorney. If you don’t have one in mind, consider hiring our Los Angeles Wrongful Termination Attorneys. They will help you understand the situation you are in, as well as determine whether or not your termination was illegal. If anything suspicious is discovered about your termination, our attorneys will definitely help you file a claim against your employer, or sue him/her until you receive the compensation for your unfair treatment and termination.

Ground Rules

Every state has some ground rules when it comes to working hours. At the beginning of every week or month, your employer will provide you with your working calendar for that week/month. If your day off is every Sunday, you are allowed to take it. However, if at the beginning of that week, your employer changed your day off to another day, or made you work the Sunday but provided you with 2 days off afterward, you must work that Sunday. You cannot disobey your employer, as that will give him the reason to terminate you.

Ask your attorney about your local work statute, and see whether or not you are entitled to 4 or more days off every month. If not, then you should consider switching jobs or the state that you are living in.

Terminated On A Sick Leave

Different states have different rules about taking sick leaves. Usually, an employee who worked for over 365 has the right to take up to 3 months of unpaid sick leave. Again, this is all based on your deal with your employer as at-will employees don’t have the same rights as other employees. Speak with your attorney and see whether or not you have the right to sue after being fired for taking a sick leave. Our Wrongful Termination Attorneys in Los Angeles will investigate your case and get to the bottom of it in no time.

After getting terminated for the wrong reasons, many people simply move on and try and find another job. Those few who decide to make a stand and file a claim can get rewarded for their bravery. Filing a wrongful termination claim is something every employee should do if they believe that they were terminated for the wrong reasons. However, there are a few misconceptions about wrongful termination. Here is everything you need to know, and a few typical situations and misconceptions that you should be aware of. Seeking Justice Every attorney will tell you that the most common reason people provide for filing a wrongful termination claim is “seeking justice”. However, this is where they are wrong.
