Entertainment Wrongful Discharge Attorney

Los Angeles Entertainment Industry Wrongful Discharge

The entertainment industry can be a rough environment for employees. The stress usually associated with a position in the industry, coupled with the difficulty of breaking into the industry, is a burden for many in Southern California. While most employment in the entertainment industry is at will, meaning the employer can terminate without cause, there are exceptions to the at-will employment rule.

If you are a member of a protected class and your employer fires you, you have rights. At The Bononi Law Group, LLP, our attorneys have helped hundreds of clients file suit against their employer for wrongful termination. Our experienced Los Angeles wrongful termination lawyers can help you, even if you need to take on the powerful entertainment industry.

Discrimination in the Entertainment Industry

Employers cannot fire an employee in the entertainment industry for the following reasons:

  • Gender
  • Age
  • Disability
  • Sexual orientation
  • Pregnancy
  • Race
  • Religion

Wrongful retaliation is also common in the entertainment employment industry. Retaliation in the workplace is when an employer fires, demotes or denies you a promotion for reporting an illegal action, such as discrimination, harassment or a wage and hour violation. Entertainment employers are not allowed to fire you just because you reported or supported someone else's report of an illegal employment law practice.
